Is it partman that takes care of creating /etc/fstab in the installation target? Just wondering if it's worthwhile getting with the times (compared to Red Hat) and using filesystem labels or UUIDs in /etc/fstab instead of block devices? It's certainly better for SCSI systems when a disk fails. I only discovered UUID support today, which in my mind, negates the value in packaging devlabel for Debian. This would require (presumably) partman to give each filesystem a label when they're created (if supported by the filesystem) and then using that label in /etc/fstab, or the UUID (I think the UUID is probably more global, not all filesystems support the concept of a label). What do people think? regards Andrew
