The point of the uuid trick is only to generate a consistent naming scheme for locally attached media. udev rules are another way of doing the same thing, although there is slightly more overhead in that approach. Once a machine has figured out what the disk is supposed to do, mounted it in the right place, and started exporting it via cifs/nfs/whatever, it is fairly guaranteed that a request for it by network path will be appropriately answered. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | ... relaxed in the manner of a man who | | steve@lobefin.net | has no need to put up a front of any | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | kind. -- John Ball, "Mark One: the | | | Dummy" | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
