devlabel - Creates symbolic links to disk or partition names

'Devlabel' dynamically creates symbolic links to disk/partition names. It uses the disk's and/or partition's unique identifiers to keep the symlink pointed to the correct location even if the underlying partition's name has changed. So, regardless of whether /dev/sdb6 becomes /dev/sdc6, devlabel points the symlink to the correct data.
