From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm an OpenBSD user, but it shouldn't be hard to translate this to Linux:
If the partition I want to mount is
/dev/sd0i, and sd0's UID/DUID is3c6905d2260afe09, I mount/dev/sd0iat/3c6905d2260afe09.i. fstab entry looks like3c6905d2260afe09.i /3c6905d2260afe09.i ffs rw,whatever_flags 0 0Ik bro, but having whole bunch of random numbers as mount point seems less intuitive to me.
well diskletters/numbers can change between boots and hardware configurations, and unless you have a good label for the partition, this is the only way I can think of to name your permanent mount points that isn't problematic/incorrect in some other way. This will always work correctly with any amount of partitions with any amount of disks; and it's not exactly hard to get the DUID of a disk, at least on OpenBSD. It's also highly scriptable as such.
Thanks for the info.
