How did you clone the disk?

I believe (although I might be wrong) that the volume labels you are
seeing are just that - volume labels. These are names you can give the
partition itself (not the place where it's mounted) and if present are
displayed instead of "/dev/hda1" etc.

I would guess that when you cloned the original disk, the running system
saw that the volume labels "/" "/usr" and "/home" were already in use,
so appended 1 to each of them.


Having said all that, I don't manipulate partition labels - if the OS
install uses them, I leave them there, and if it doesn't I don't add
them. Therefore, I don't actually know how to change them. I'm sure
someone else around this list will, though...  :)

Might be worth a look at google for "volume labels" or "partition
labels" under linux.

Paul.
