You can set labels to all the partitions, and set /etc/fstab to use |
| 11 |
them: my fstab looks like: |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
LABEL=Gentoo / ext4 noatime 0 1 |
| 14 |
LABEL=Swap none swap sw 0 0 |
| 15 |
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |
| 16 |
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,nosuid 0 0 |
| 17 |

I believe this is the recommended way to use fstab in distros like |
| 19 |
Fedora and OpenSUSE, because of your use case exactly. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
You can set labels to ext[234] partitions with e2label, and for NTFS |
| 22 |
partitions you can use ntfslabel, and to swap partitions with mkswap. |
| 23 |
I suppose every filesystem in the world has a similar tool to set its |
| 24 |
label. |
