I have an external HDD that I use for periodic, air-gapped backups. I |
| 17 |
use /dev/disk/by-label for it. With that support being removed (or |
| 18 |
rather, problematic for some system configurations), which method is |
| 19 |
most future-proof? I saw mention of UUIDs; is that what we should switch to? |

In my case, it's a removable drive so it may be assigned to something |
| 22 |
besides sdc at times. |
