Disk mounting in recent Linuxes

[Ivan Voras]

Hi,

I've installed a Linux (openSUSE) on a laptop and this is what I got by
default in fstab:

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Hitachi_HTS5412_HP0400BEG1922A-part2 /
            ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 1
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Hitachi_HTS5412_HP0400BEG1922A-part4 /data
            ext3       acl,user_xattr        1 2
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_Hitachi_HTS5412_HP0400BEG1922A-part3 swap
            swap       defaults              0 0

A similar option (to use a device by id instead of location) also exists
for network cards.

(This is just a "FYI" post, I'm not complaining :) ).
