devlabel and device UUIDs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Am trying to setup devlabel with my Fujifilm USB drive. It is one of the
braindead ones with the UUID set for the device rather than the partition.
Thus I have to issue:

devlabel add -d /dev/sdi -s /dev/usbstick

to have devlabel grok the proper place to read the UUID. However, the device is not where the data lies - it is on the first partition /dev/sdi1. So it reads 
the /etc/fstab entry of:

/dev/usbstick	/mnt/substick  (rest deleted)

and bombs cuz it naturally can't find a readable partition. One way to get
around this is to use the -u <UUID> --partnum <#> to set it up. Only
problem is that the FC1 devlabel does not include the --partnum option.

As it stands now, I can only get it working if I change the symlink to
/dev/sdi1 manually after devlabel runs. Hardly worth the time. Anybody know
of a way around this?
