The mount-by-id vs. mount-by-device is a selection during filesystem setup at install time. I also have consistently seen mount-by-device as the default over several dozen installs and have never had to change it as this is the behavior I wanted. Is it possible that mount-by-id becomes the default if you are installing to FCP disks? The ID shown in the original poster's message doesn't exactly look like a WWN, but I figure it's worth asking. We are using ECKD, here. ok r. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
