this is indeed the use case that led me to find out about that iritating 
problem. At least, yaird should document how to handle such moves: as 
it appears that changing fstab and rebuilding the initrd is enough, 
well, that /should/ be documented somewhere, and the user should not 
have to /guess/ it.
