As well, devlabel now also supports automounting. For example, with a USB
flash reader, you should now add it to devlabel with the --automount option.
If --automount is specified, every time you hotplug your device, it will
check /etc/fstab for an entry containing the symlink that you've added for
this device, and if it finds one, it will automatically mount it. Nice and
simple.
Lastly, you can also now do adds by UUID. This is especially helpful in
shared storage environments. For example, you can add a symlink on the
master node and then add by UUID on all the secondary nodes to ensure that
the same symlink on all nodes points to the same shared storage device
regardless of the device naming scheme of those nodes.
