I'm running kernel 2.4.28 (ie no udev). I have several
external disks with a LABEL in each partition. This saves me
from looking for the (possibly different) device name each
time I plug them in. Instead I have an entry in /etc/fstab
and I can just run `mount LABEL_name`.
However now that I'm using labels to mount (rather than
device names), when I have an external usb drive with no
LABEL in the partitions and I do
`fsck /dev/device_name`
I get
error LABEL not found on disk (or something like that)
If I then comment out the LABEL lines in /etc/fstab I can
run the fsck command OK.
What should I do to be able to mount disks that have a LABEL
and fsck disks without LABELs?
Thanks Joe
