I do wish things were done more like how it was on the Amiga: Device names were written into the device, as were volume names, and the file system (if you wanted it to be). Plugging the drive into anything meant it was labelled and identified the same on any computer.
What happened when you moved drives around or image-copied them and ended up with two of the same label in the same machine? Did it do something reasonable or refuse to boot? What did it do with filesystems using different conventions?
