If you ever have to deal with a disk from another system using labels you can get into conflicts like trying to deal with two disks with a label of ROOT. Gets quite annoying. I like to know that MY root disk will mount because it has the right UUID not because I label it ROOT. And labels were broken when I switched in the initrd I was trying to use while UUIDs worked so that's what I stuck with. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
