There is also by-label, which you can reference from fstab like LABEL=foobar /home ext4 defaults ... If predictability and readability is the goal, I think using labels is the best option, because you have complete control over them, unlike the device IDs. For example: LABEL=my-machine-home-part /home ext4 defaults ... This doesn't solve your underlying timing problem, of course. Just apropos. -- Ian
