I suppose I could, I recall the friendly name thing a while ago, it seemed more complicated than using LVM though to me at the time. I came up with a system a couple of years ago and haven't had much need to re-visit it. Another option I think was to use the file system label feature at least with ext3. But I found the other advantages to LVM, so stuck to that, even though I've yet to have more than 1 LV in any particular VG on my SANs. I came up with this script at the time to mount/unmount my volumes: http://portal.aphroland.org/~aphro/mount_san.init Mainly to work around limitations in RHEL/CentOS 4 with regards to iSCSI volumes being mounted at the right time, and unmounted at the right time. I believe RHEL/CentOS 5 has fixed this, but I haven't had a need to try out the "fix" since my setup is working well. nate
