I've changed over to mounting (some of) my disks with LABEL
(instead of the device) in /etc/fstab.
Now when I go to fsck a zip disk (say) which doesn't have a
LABEL I get the error
dennis:~# fsck /dev/hdb4
fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002)
Couldn't find matching filesystem: LABEL=backup1
(backup1 is the first LABEL'ed entry in /etc/fstab)
Commenting out the LABEL entries in /etc/fstab allows me to
fsck the external disk.
How can I fsck the external disk without having to comment
out the LABEL lines in /etc/fstab?
Thanks Joe
