Hello everyone, heres a batch of question: Im looking for a way to mount disks by label instead of device. Im on 6.2 and I can't use ZFS until it gets released. I saw that tunefs and newfs have some label option - but I assumed it's not the kind of label I want because no one is using it. An example with AdvFS (Tru64): # mount root_domain#root on / type advfs (rw) /proc on /proc type procfs (rw) usr_domain#usr on /usr type advfs (rw) var_domain#var on /var type advfs (rw) I just think it's stupid to edit fstab every time Im swapping things inside the box - I think it's needless. Second thing I was wondering about is: Did anyone ever try to break down the performance requirements of various system directories? Basically - which directories benefit from faster seeks or higher read/write speeds. I know this highly depends on actual services and that I should put the machine together and watch its needs before finalizing disk-layout - but it would take a lot of time and Im looking for any advice that can save me time. Thanks, Vasek
