All I was saying is that my understanding of all the instructions I found was and still is confused... as I mentioned, changing this is between the author and whoever translated, if that is the case. For me, I would still like to hear from somone who could clear up the confusion... read my explanation of what I found in themanuals and you will perhaps understand what is confusing (tunefs and glabel appear to be stumbling over each other and criss-crossing instructions. >From the way things are written, it would appear that one must do tunefs before doing glabel and that they are interdependent. But tunefs says to do tunefs /home /disk-slice yet glabel is dealing with partitions... what does /home supposed to be a specific directory or a partition and how does it relate to the disk? And then, how does it relate to glabel?
Manolis seems to have cleared things slightly on how to use glabel, but strangely it did not work for me. I am about to try again and will sen the fstab and ls disk prinouts as soon as I have another little problem sorted out... shortly or tomorrow.
