@maralorn:maralorn.demaralorn lassulus: What made you decide to use partlabels for partition discovery? Isn’t that a bit dangerous because of possible naming collisions? 07:48:16
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusfs labels are dependant on the filesystem. partition numbering is different for each backend and less flexible when updating the table07:49:26
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusbut yeah, there is risk of conflicts if you apply the same config to different disks07:50:19
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusbut with partlabels, the device can also be specified by an environment variable. this was not possible with the old numbering07:50:54
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornSo, you are saying there is a risk, but there is no better option?07:55:09
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusyes :D07:57:57
@lassulus:lassul.uslassulusmaybe we can add the device to the default partlabel07:58:26
@maralorn:maralorn.demaralornWell, I guess it’s fine to declare this the users responsibility.08:17:31
