Yep, that''s on the list.  In a large config you really want the ability
to name disks by location, e.g. "rack 5, shelf 2, slot 3".  Even on a
desktop, names like "top", "bottom", and
"external" would be nice.

Actually, you''d want the disks to tell you where they are but
that''s a
harder problem ... sort of. :-)
