]solved] mounting a btrfs array

I have a btrfs Raid1 array I have been mounting by the UUID of a single disk in fstab.

The array is external and I want to mount it manually as needed. UUID is cumbersome. Is there any drawbacks/gotchas to mounting the array by label?

Re: ]solved] mounting a btrfs array

If you ensure you have unique labels for all your disks/usecases, no there should not be a drawback to this. You are going to have an issue if you plug a stick or another disk that happens to have the same label.
