  Description : storage device abstraction layer

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.

Any news?
I consider devlabel an important complement to hotplug and udev.
Please don't waste time trying to support devfs, it's going away soon
anyway.
