People did complain about that, which is why on Linux today that mount would use the disk UUID or label instead.

So it’s fixed. What’s windows’ excuse? :-)

Windows also has uuids. E.g.:

    \\.\Volume{3558506b-6ae4-11eb-8698-806e6f6e6963}\

Which can be trivially mapped to directories for aliasing. Just like Linux.

Windows NT and UNIX are much more similar than many people realize; Windows NT just has a giant pile of Dos/Win9x compatibility baked on top hiding how great the core kernel design actually is.

I think this article demonstrates that very well.

		Yeah, NTFS is quite capable. I mostly blame the Windows UI for being a bit too dumbed down and not advertising the capabilities well.
