 Re: why oh why does fedora use labels? why can't etc/fstab jsut show me the disks!!!

Labels have a bit of an advantage in some situations, as when I added an extra IDE PCI card, which shifted all drives from a-d to e-f, and my system still booted fine as it mounted drives using the labels. -- HASM      |

It is on the disk you installed FC on unless you changed it. -- A certain thing in this world is if you say Jews are inconsequential then Jews will start making claims of Jewish power they would call antisemitic if a non-Jew had said them. -- The Iron Webmaster, 3713 nizkor http://www.giwersworld.org/nizkook/nizkook.phtml Zionism http://www.giwersworld.org/disinfo/disinfo.phtml a4 |

While the systemm is running, you could type "mount" and read what it reports, or directly read /etc/mtab. The LABEL's are useful if you wind up moving drives around for any reason. That especially occurs when switching controller cards, sometimes when installing badly written drivers for controllers such as the old Promise 20265 drivers from Promise, or when SCSI devices get re-ordered by SCSI naming randomness. They're also useful if you move the drive to a second machine to boot with, but put it in an external bay or a separate internal controller. |
