I know grml can (re)generate fstab on boot each time. However, I'd like to access my partitions by their names instead of sda7, sda12, which I have no way to remember. So I have to disable the automatic fstab generation on boot.
I hope that grml can utilize the automount, as knopsis does, and use udev to access them by their names, ie disk labels.
The bonus is that USB drives will be taken care of as well by this.
Would this happen in near future, or I'm out of luck and have to find the way to do it myself.
Sorry, I don't understand your problem. :)
If you are using filesystem labels just mount them using:
mount -L $LABEL /mnt/test
If you need stable root devices you can use UUIDs as well: http://michael-prokop.at/blog/2006/08/11/stable-root-device-aka-uuid/
What do you mean with automount and "use udev to access them by their names"? What should /etc/fstab look like in your opinion? Did I miss what you are searching for? :)
