3*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# This file contains label conversions for fstab, mount, fsck, hammer,
4*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# and other commands which expect device paths.  It is typically used
5*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# to translate longer serial numbers (which devfs automatically installs
6*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# as "/dev/serno/<serialnumber>[.suffix]" into short-form names to simplify
7*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# fstab.

9*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# For use cases a label is represented up to the last '.' (if any),
10*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# looked up, and then any suffix after and including the leading '.' is
11*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# tacked onto the result.  So in /etc/fstab the label "fubar.s1a"
12*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# would translate to "/dev/serno/L123456.s1a" in our first example below.

14*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# Currently the "serno" and "path" types are supported.  Really any generic
15*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# type is supported and will translate into a subdirectory lookup in /dev.
16*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# The "path" type translates to an absolute path with no prepended /dev,
17*86d7f5d3SJohn Marino# suitable for files represented by block devices.
