I'll second that remark on labelling filesystems. My life has become

Warren Block's excellent page on the subject:

Specificelly, the drives get labeled, but the infrastructure
necessary to mount using those labels does not happen. After
talking with Warren, all we can figure out is it isn't just me.
These are two different types of label. Filesystem labels have always
worked for me. Those are the ones shown in that article.
The recent problems have been with GPT labels, which recently don't want
to appear in /dev/gpt.
Ouch. I've converted completely to GPT disks and labels. Fortunately I
stick to RELEASE so I'm not affected. I presume this is some sort of
regression in HEAD?
