--nextPart1821339.squO475khB Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I am wondering if there is a unique ID generated for each UFS already? If n= ot=20 would it be possible to add one somehow? There is glabel, but I think having a UUID embedded in the FS would be very= =20 handy for automation andwould prevent accidents that glabel can cause. So, there could be a gfsid module that reads IDs from the FS (NTFS, ext2/3,= =20 UFS) and creates device nodes to allow access. Linux has something like this (or rather ext2/xfs do) and NTFS appears to h= ave=20 a unique ID (or at least Linux thinks so :) Thanks. PS please CC me as I'm not on the list. =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart1821339.squO475khB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBJJMFF5ZPcIHs/zowRAh/dAJ0RNJQQ5JQZcmO7LW9u37QxVk83GACgl1mp SWaYB0iUjrLlqmb8/Iz1qLY= =EcTT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1821339.squO475khB--
