Subject: Yes /etc/disklabels/ is a good practice for placing labels of disks
X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2115226a8178ceee3a9fb48a1f1c905e2c5c5fb3;p=openbsd

Yes /etc/disklabels/ is a good practice for placing labels of disks
in case of catastropy.  But it is so poorly documented that any admin
is more likely to store the labels elsewhere, so let's stop bothering
with providing the directory.  Discussed a bit, no objections.
