It's a good idea. sysinstall can auto-generate labels and use them to generate fstab, right now it leaves UFS label empty anyway. This should cover 99.99% of all cases. I just worried that instead of one labeling scheme we would end up with 10, neither of which is really well supported. -MaximReceived on Wed Feb 04 2009 - 00:33:25 UTC
