Problem _I_ had with lables is two RHL's on one box. As I said, poorly 
implemented.

Let me see.

I plug in USB camera. Shos up at /dev/sda.
I add USB drive. Shows up at /dev/sdb.

Tomorrow
I plug in USB drive. Shows up at /dev/sda
I plug in USB camera. Shows up at /dev/sdb.

What if I have _two_ USB drives (I do - one for carrying stuff, one for 
backups)?.

A filesystem label would help overcome the confusion.

Didn't I read somewhere that sata drives are hdx with 2.4 kernels, sdx with 
2.6?.
