Well, it does not look like you are referencing the labels in /etc/fstab which is one place I usually see them. The other place to check is /boot/grub/grub.conf to see any lines referencing LABEL=/ and change it over to /dev/hdxn.... I cannot think of another place that might reference the label unless you have some scripts that use it.... So, as someone else suggested, just relabel one of them using "e2label /dev/hdxn newlabelname".... I would choose to change the partition that is not truly your / partition.... --Rob On Thu, 2004-06-17 at 22:09, patemery@xxxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Ok, so I've checked my three physical devices using e2label and found that two > are labeled "/" and one has a blank label. > > Now, how do I know what values to put here for labels?
