Is tune2fs nessercery if grub.conf is using "root=/dev/hdc2" and not using a label. Also if I go with a file copy (cp -a for example) this doesn't do anything with the labels so there wouldn't be a problem? Is this correct? I'm just trying to cover all bases and understand this a bit better. Sorry :)
