In the discussions cited at the start of this thread there was a
suggestion by Ty Sarna to introduce readable names for partitions (akin
to the AmigaOS concept, please bear with me :-). Couldn't this solve the
problem of moving disks? And being able to refer to partitions also with
their assigned name would be real convenient (IMO).
I faintly remember Linux also knows names for partitions but I think
they use some random strings which are not suitable for humans to
remember.
