Agreed. This is really great. I just pushed your patch. However, there's something strange in terms of by-label: I have two partitions with labels: $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 corinna vinschen 0 Nov 17 17:18 blub -> ../../sda3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 corinna vinschen 0 Nov 17 17:18 blub2 -> ../../sdb2 $ Now I change the label of sdb2 to the same "blub" string as on sda3: $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label total 0 $ I'd expected to see only one, due to the name collision, but en empty dir is a bit surprising... And it may occur more often than not, given that the default label "New_Volume" probably won't get changed very often. Thanks, Corinna
