</span>As I recall, I added udev-extraconf a couple of years ago when I wanted<br>
one of my systems to be portable to different motherboards or different<br>
mass storage devices. I didn't want the user to have to edit fstab somehow<br>
before putting the system together. If I get rid of udev-extraconf, is<br>
there a way to use a mount unit to specify a partition by some sttributes,<br>
e.g., a FAT file system with a volume name of FOOBAR? Or is there a way to<br>
do this directly with a udev rule?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Just configure "/dev/disk/by-label/FOOBAR" (or possibly "LABEL=FOOBAR") as the mount source.</div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr">Mantas Mikulėnas <<a href="mailto:grawity@gmail.com" target="_blank">grawity@gmail.com</a>></div></div>
