I'm surprised no-one in this thread seems to share my view, which is that the whole label= idea is a dreadful mistake, as the occasions where it causes confusion vastly outnumber the occasions where it could possibly help. The only concrete example I have seen put forward of a case where it might help is if one has two or more SCSI disks, and one fails, so that the others are re-named (eg /dev/sdb -> /dev/sda). Has this ever happened to anyone? I've been using SCSI disks for some time, and never known one to fail and simply be ignored by the SCSI controller. [Incidentally, I have noticed one persistent problem with SCSI disks, which came in with RedHat 9, IIRC. Anaconda seems to get in a tizzy if you have 15 partitions, ie up to /dev/sda15 .] -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
