Since reading more about labels for F7 I've labeled my existing systems something like this: device label mount point ------ ----- ----------- /dev/sda1 disk1boot /boot /dev/sda3 disk1root / /dev/sdb1 disk2usrlocal /usr/local When I try to install, anaconda reports the labels correctly, and when I select the proper mount point and have / and /boot reformatted, the labels get changed to: device label mount point ------ ----- ----------- /dev/sda1 /boot /boot /dev/sda3 / / /dev/sdb1 disk2usrlocal /usr/local # no change My desire is to keep my old partition labels because I move disks around a lot and a unique label for existsing partitions, whether or not I reformatted the disk, would be useful in many cases. -Tom
