The term "disk label" is very unintuitive for people with Windows background. It sounds almost like "volume label" — but means an entirely different thing! I was close to erasing the partition table once because of this similarity when all I wanted was changing a label for a partition.
Microsoft calls this "master boot record (MBR) partition style" (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771486.aspx) or "master boot record (MBR) disk" (http://technet.microsoft.com/en- us/library/cc725671.aspx) I believe, "MBR" should be mentioned in some way, as people familiar with Windows systems are most likely to deal with this partitioning style — and that is the term they are going to look for. -- 'create msdos label' in partitioner unclear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32479 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
