Just a vague idea for the moment;

How aboot some mechanism that can do number lookups by name for disks?
( just like is done for host protocols ports or users and groups and possibly
more things.. )

for instance an /etc/disks with lines like:
1234567890abcdef        backups bac0000000000001

Anyways, as I have no code for something like this at this moment I'll shut up
for now on this.
