Filesystem labels are a neat idea that, when it works properly, can eliminate whole classes of problems. Unfortunately, it also introduces problems and complications of its own. So, with some regret, I almost always eliminate them on Linux systems I admin, especially if there's any question of them being implicated in problems. > Once that's figured out, I still have to work out my fear of running > parted to set up my currently unmountable 60GB extended partition so > that I can partition out my system the way I want it. My view: If you have tested, good backups, then you can use such programs with full confidence. However, you can alternatively just rearrange partitions the old-fashioned way, and then restore data when you're done. -- Cheers, "My file system's got no nodes!" Rick Moen "How does it shell?"
