This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label. so that would be okay for ext2 at least, Sincerely, Adrian Phillips -- Your mouse has moved. Windows NT must be restarted for the change to take effect. Reboot now?
