No, in this case geom_part should export the labels - because it reads and handles the partition geoms. This would probably require some smart handling, such as exporting both /dev/xxxp0 and /dev/gpt/guid, and then when one of these is opened, kill (remove from /dev) the other. >> Alternative is to use GUIDs, like some Linuxes do, so we have entries >> like /dev/gpt/38a52be4-9352-453e-af97-5c3b448652f0 >=20 > I've thought about that too, but again it's not a priority.
