Open Stack

Hi all,
This is with regards to an issue in the documentation of Openstack
Swift and mostly an issue to system administrators operating
Swift.(Sorry if the subject tags are wrong!!)
In the Swift Multiserver docs, When setting up an object storage
server, the docs tell to use the disk labels in the disk's /etc/fstab
entries.
eg:
/dev/sda    /srv/node/sda   xfs noatime.............

I feel that we should encourage people to use UUIDs rather than disk
labels. I have had a lot of issues with my Swift storage servers
crashing whenever I reboot them. I have found out that the issue is
with the /etc/fstab as the disk labels change whenever a disk is
removed or added(depends on the OS's "mood" i.e boot order).

I don't want to change my ring configuration every time I reboot my
storage servers.

Thank you

Bharath
