Hello Tom,<br>
I recommend you to go by UUID's (blkid as root) as on a particular disk
this identifier won't
<br>
change in case you alte your HD-setup, otherwise with devicenames
(dev/sdXX)<br>
you can have an issue, as they will change if you regroup our harddisks.<br>
The UUID is unique for each drive.<br>
Have stable fun, DasEi, Martin<br>
