naw -- The X window system exists to get me room for lots and

I've grown to like LABELled partitions but UUID's s*ck as they 
are non-mnemonic; I usually take care to post-relabel slash

volatle media -- sure, or at least perhaps -- but as many 
before me have pointed out, the edge cases are not the general 
case, and in production and in real world chassis 
configurations one does not usually carry more than four 
(usually two) drives. 1 RU and 2 RU just don't provide room 
for more with sensible heat loads
