You could indicate if a given disk is your working disk (w)
or your backup disk (b). A possible fstab would look like
this:
The working disk:
/dev/label/w-swap none swap sw 0 0
/dev/label/w-rootfs / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/label/w-tmp /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/label/w-var /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/label/w-usr /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/label/w-home /home ufs rw 2 2
/dev/label/w-backups /backups ufs rw 2 2
The backup disk:
/dev/label/b-swap none swap sw 0 0
/dev/label/b-rootfs / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/label/b-tmp /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/label/b-var /var ufs rw 2 2
/dev/label/b-usr /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/label/b-home /home ufs rw 2 2
/dev/label/b-backups /backups ufs rw 2 2
(Note that I sorted the partitions by "usage priority".)
The downside is that you would have to keep a difference
between /etc/fstab(w) and /etc/fstab(b). On its own, each
disk will work on any controller (because of proper labels).
Funny question: What happens if a system has access to
two disks with labelled partitions where the labels are
identical?
