but if we are going to use those which set should we use?
by-path seems like a reasonable choice though it will break if users move anything (but then so would the old system in many cases)
by-id seems to use the make/model of the drive and maybe some unique id of the drive,
by-uuid contains my two ext3 partitions but not my swap partition, it also seems like it may be vulnerable to becoming confused.
maybe an answer would be to use by-path if drives are presenent on multiple controllers during installation and use conventional names otherwise (possiblly with a way to override this behaviour for experts).
