Ok this sounds familar to me - maybe I have read about this before ;) What would be the prefered way to label the root partition and changing fstab without entering the root partition at bootup manually at least once? Is there a way to do so? I noticed that even when I boot in multiuser, change fstab, then return into single user mode and remount / read-only, the label cannot be set. I need to boot directly into single user mode. Looks like writing the label is denied when the partition was once mounted rw before - even if it is actually mounted ro. -- Oliver Lehmann http://www.pofo.de/ http://wishlist.ans-netz.de/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
