Suppose I have these logical partitions:
hd0s5 = some crap
hd0s6 = paging
hd0s7 = important filesystem
and then I remove hd0s5. Now the paging area becomes hd0s5 and
the important filesystem becomes hd0s6. If I still have
paging=hd0s6 in some configuration file, I lose.
I was under the impression that BSD-style disklabels could avoid
this by letting me tag partitions so that their letters don't
change if I add or remove other ones. Don't they work that way,
then?
