Devlabel is a program which dynamically creates symbolic links to disk/partition names. It uses the disk's and/or partition's unique identifiers to keep the symlink pointed to the correct location even if the underlying partition's name has changed. So, regardless of whether /dev/sdb6 becomes /dev/sdc6, devlabel figures this all out and points the symlink to the correct data. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux caesar 2.4.23-1-686 #1 Sun Nov 30 20:51:10 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
