Hmm... I'm not thrilled with using the node name for this. For one, the node name usually functions more as a node type than a label. It also means that spaces can't be used in the name, which is fairly common for existing partition maps. This might be a good time to introduce a standard "label" property. -Scott _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
