How do I find out the label of a swap partition? I'm working on bare metal recovery (http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Linux-Complete-Backup-and-Recovery-HOWTO/index.html). Now that Fedora uses labels to identify swap partitions as well as file system partitions, I need to learn what the swap partition label is so that the bare metal recovery scripts can properly make the swap partitions. I can learn the labels of the file system partitions with mount -l, but that does not help with swap partitions. I could parse /etc/fstab, but that may not be accurate, e.g. I changed my fstab to use the device name for swap, but there is a label on the partition. Also, with the current problem of garbage labels for the swap partitions, it is hazardous anyway. -- Charles Curley /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ / Respect for open standards and/or writing?
