Computer naming conventions

My computers are currently named after GIJoe characters. This works pretty well because there are a lot of them and they are usually interesting names. I just work my way down the list.

I'm thinking that it might make sense to have a convention for drives as well with a sub-convention for partitions. Having all of these gives an absolute path to the existence of a file. While usually not important I'm running across the issue when syncing stuff across the cloud.

The question is what convention. The computer names are already long enough. Adding in another long drive name and another long partition name is a bad idea. One thing that also is useful is to include the name of the OS for the drive. That fails if you have more than one OS per partition, but that's really not all that big of a deal to limit things to one OS per partition. Probably a good idea anyway.

For partitions I could name them letters. This maps well for Windows, but does not make as much sense for other OS's. Though it does fit the convention of being nice and short. If I do go with drive letters I should start them down the alphabet enough so I can map them myself and not have to worry about windows reordering them.

So what happens when a drive ends up living in another computer? Does this live on via the naming convention? Maybe the real absolute path is the name of the drive and whatever computer it happens to be parked in at any give time really does not matter.
