</div>You may want to use the UUID convention for /etc/fstab.<br>
<br>
Just run 'blkid' and then replace the /dev/sdXX column in /etc/fstab<br>
with UUID=XXXXXXX ...<br>
<br>
This way you can move disks and partitions around and they'll still be<br>
found and usable without having to update /etc/fstab. :-)<br>
