Until opensuse 11 fstab use the device designations like /dev/sda1, now since opensuse 11.1 the Device ID is the default (I know I can change the default).
It has changed some time ago, AFAIK.
2. I though the future was going to be UUID
Q1. what are the benefits of using Device ID vs UUID?
Dunno. The UUID is generated when you initialize the disk (so a non formatted partition has none), but the ID contains a reference to the physical device and partition. It depends on your needs.
Q2. is there a command line to get the device ID?
ls /dev/disk/by-id/ or by-uuid, or by-label. They are symlinks, you can easily see what they point to. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
