Actually labels are optional to be used. You can confirm the current labels of a given partition by running the command "e2label /dev/hdxn", which will display the label associated with that partition. To change a label you would use "e2label /dev/hdxn newlabelname" I tend to see labels being used in /etc/fstab and also tend to see them referenced in grub.conf. Currently your fstab does not seem to be referencing them.... Make sure that if you change a label that you adjust any references.... --Rob On Wed, 2004-06-16 at 22:19, patemery@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > I have RedHat 7.2 on a system and it is a functioning stable system.
