but i'll have to change it every time i add or remove a hard disk
which can be pretty frequent.if the total number of drives in the system is not the same from boot
to boot, i have to tweak fstab.
is it possible for a future update of OpenBSD to tweak fstab to take
references to the boot drive? that should help a lot in such cases. I
could spout a lot of ideas, like having a unique identifier
(combination of timestamp and netcard/cpu id?) in the boot block for
reference in fstab, but i'm no expert.Oh well i'll resign to your suggestions and follow a strict workflow:
no superfluous drives at boot and add them just before backup should
do fine, unless anybody has a better idea. I'd hate keeping back-up
drives in the machine for no apparent reason.At least i don't have to spend more time searching for info as this
seems to be a dead end.thanks for the feedback all round
regards
