I've looked at /etc/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules and I wonder: Is that the only/the right spot to get rid of serial numbers?
I guess it is, but you can also use YaST Partitioner (command 'yast2 disk'). Select partition that you want to change, click on Edit button. In window that pops up click on 'Fstab Options' and in new window you can tell system to mount volume in different way. Be aware that abandoning mount by device path was forced by increasing number of devices that can be mounted in different order on each boot which results in different path. All SATA and USB devices are prone to that. In order to access them you have to know where they are located, with different path each time you have to find something that doesn't change. Serial numbers are safe bet, they will be the same even across multiple installations, or large systems with whole a lot of hard disks. Lables would be too, but than you risk to create system that is today fine, but with increase in number of devices can run out of available labels in the future. The present system will hardly hit the limit any soon. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
