This scheme won't work all of the time...
Authored by: TigerKR on Aug 10, '04 01:51:45AM

This hint will only work for single disk setups. If you have multiple disks, especially across multiple busses, then the disk numbering order won't necessarily be the same after every reboot.

For instance, what's now listed on my system (using df -k) as disk4s10 - might be disk6s10 on the next reboot (this is because I have 8 drives on 3 busses). This will (and has) caused a world of trouble as directories and files will not be where they are expected to be in your fstab file.
