Description James Horton 2011-02-09 18:43:19 UTC
James:
Some discussion on modifying the Gentoo Handbook to
> describe how to use Disk Labels is warranted?
> 
> Many have switched to disk labels in fstab. Maybe
> the Gentoo handbook should include a section on disk label
> usage to prepare for the future?

Josh:

If someone's willing to provide the text, then sure, I'll consider
adding it to the handbooks, but if not, then I won't spend any energy
trying to write something up.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just look at the Handbook.
2.Disk Labels usage is missing.
3.

Actual Results:  
Disk Labels are the future and sooner or later we'll
be forced to use Disk Labels. Better to document how
to properly set up disk labels rather that having
hundreds or thousands of new users (over time) be
force to convert a live system from mounts to disk labels.

Expected Results:  
Beautiful, well written <optional> section on disk label usage.

Leave the mount point example but provide
an optional section in the Handbook on proper
use of disk labels and fstab example.
