One approach is to check all present partitions/filesystems for their LABELs and if duplicates are found (for example two filesystems with a LABEL named "TEST") generate just one entry (the first device found with the label wins when running "mount /mnt/$LABEL"), this would look like: http://grml.org/tmp/gkrellShoot_09-11-06_001808.png The other approach is to check for label duplicates and use UUIDs instead for the labels where uniqueness can't be guaranted: http://grml.org/tmp/gkrellShoot_09-11-06_002811.png Both versions add additional information to the fstab-entry so it should be clear what's going on. Of course all the LABEL/UUID stuff will be documented. The according /mnt/[$LABEL|$UUID] directories are created automatically as well, so you don't have to care about anything at all. Please let me know what you think about it. I will run some more tests before grml-rebuildfstab is going online. If we find a solution most of us like I would prepare a new devel-release so you can explore all the new development stuff on your own. regards, -mika- -- http://grml.org/ # Linux for texttool-users and sysadmins http://wiki.grml.org/ # share your knowledge http://grml.supersized.org/ # the grml development weblog #grml @ irc.freenode.org # meet us on irc
