Hi John, no one every pointed that out to me before I just looked it up and according to the docs your right it does the job. I need to try this but I assume one could do the following:
dasdfmt -l cdl ..... fdasd -a ..... mkreiserfs -l label_for_vol1 ...... mount -L label_for_vol1 ..... or place it in the fstab for a "mount -a": LABEL=label_for_vol1 ........ Much or the doc refers to e2fs and e3fs and xfs, although mkreiserfs supports a label keyword - do you know if this works OK with reiserfs on SuSE SLES-7 s390 and/or s390x?
