It must be a mess. And how about naming volumes, they all have to be unique no? So what does /etc or /var or whatever become when you install. Or do you just make disk1p5 and disk1p6 large enough to hold everything? And what about ubuntuor fedora or whatever. They all have /home, /var, etc. etc.
If you think about it, it's not that much different then when using plain partitions. When you have one disk you are forced to call every partition sda1, sda2 and so on up to sda15. If you now install 4 different os versions, how do you keep track of what partition that is /var for each os?
You can label plain partitions, and use the label for mounting instead of the device name. In fstab:
LABEL=320_home1 /home xfs noatime,nodiratime 1 2 LABEL=320_home2 /home2 reiserfs noatime,nodiratime,user,acl,user_xattr 1 2
