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