Excuse the formatting, my keyboard went nuts and decided I was done
editing :o

In addition to the example I showed, I was just going to say that the
purpose of glabel is to stop referring to /dev/da[0-9]* and instead be
able to refer to /dev/label/san_0_lun_0 (or whatever you like). I don't
know of a way to automagically determine if a disk is in fact a SAN, but
it cannot be too hard to figure out from dmesg + information about the
disk. 

Once you have identified it LABEL IT! Then there is no more ambiguity.
