Red Hat 6 - FC6

[Karl Larsen <k5di@xxxxxxxxxx>]

   I have been thinking that fstab has changed some but right now it is 
the same as the older one in Red Hat version 6 (RH6). All the basics of 
Unix are still here in Fedora Core 6 and onto Fedora 7.

   It is possible to use LABEL rather than actual partition designator 
such as /dev/hdb3. Some think the LABEL makes it easier but I am not one.

   When I decided to change fstab and grub.conf to remove the LABEL and 
instead use the actual designator but I did it in small steps worried 
that such a change could make my system un-bootable. But no problems 
were found and now I have a lot of lines in fstab letting me as myself 
to mount old linux and Windows to this system. It has all worked to this 
time.

   All of this was possible on RH6 about 10 years ago. Sure is nice FC6 
can still do this :-)
