# /etc/devtab # # This file contains label conversions for fstab, mount, fsck, hammer, # and other commands which expect device paths. It is typically used # to translate longer serial numbers (which devfs automatically installs # as "/dev/serno/[.suffix]" into short-form names to simplify # fstab. # # For use cases a label is represented up to the last '.' (if any), # looked up, and then any suffix after and including the leading '.' is # tacked onto the result. So in /etc/fstab the label "fubar.s1a" # would translate to "/dev/serno/L123456.s1a" in our first example below. # # Currently the "serno" and "path" types are supported. Really any generic # type is supported and will translate into a subdirectory lookup in /dev. # The "path" type translates to an absolute path with no prepended /dev, # suitable for files represented by block devices. # # label type basepath # ----- ------ ------- # fubar serno L123456 # fubar path /full/path
