I've used filesystem labels for a long time and generally it works |
| 11 |
really well. Only problem I've had is my Dad's machine has a Maxtor |
| 12 |
1-touch 1394 drive. It seems that often it doesn't get recognized by |
| 13 |
the 1394 subsystem fast enough to satisfy whatever requirements the |
| 14 |
Gentoo scripts have for the label being readable so it doesn't |
| 15 |
reliably get recognized every time. |
