It also says 'fictitious' when you then write that label and read it back (and that magic word is also used by the wedge naming code to be treated like an empty label). It might be easier to use a different, more obscure field in the disklabel instead of d_packname (the "label" field) for such magic values. -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
