You could indicate if a given disk is your working disk (w) or your backup disk (b). A possible fstab would look like this: The working disk: /dev/label/w-swap none swap sw 0 0 /dev/label/w-rootfs / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/label/w-tmp /tmp ufs rw 2 2 /dev/label/w-var /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/label/w-usr /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/label/w-home /home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/label/w-backups /backups ufs rw 2 2 The backup disk: /dev/label/b-swap none swap sw 0 0 /dev/label/b-rootfs / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/label/b-tmp /tmp ufs rw 2 2 /dev/label/b-var /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/label/b-usr /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/label/b-home /home ufs rw 2 2 /dev/label/b-backups /backups ufs rw 2 2 (Note that I sorted the partitions by "usage priority".) The downside is that you would have to keep a difference between /etc/fstab(w) and /etc/fstab(b). On its own, each disk will work on any controller (because of proper labels). Funny question: What happens if a system has access to two disks with labelled partitions where the labels are identical? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
