I did this, and nothing exploded. :-)
When (and where) should I expect to see these appear under
/dev? Immediately? After rebooting? I want to edit fstab, but
want to be clear on how.
The label(s) should be accessible immediately, HOWEVER:
if the filesystem is mounted rw they'll be lost on reboot. So
you probably want to do the labelling from single-user mode.
With filesystem labels, yes. Should not be a problem with gpart labels
on a partition. (Just tried it.)_______________________________________________
