25 I'm a little confused about use of the term "disk labels" in
26 this discussion. Isn't a disk label a fs level ID (I create
27 those when I make my fs)? Using UUID in fstab for quite awhile
28 here (due to multiple external drives), but those aren't disk
29 labels... are they?
30
31 It seems there are two subjects here, one to address in the
32 section of preparing disks and one for setting up fstab.
33
34 Unless of course I'm missing something, which is entirely
35 possible...
