Well the thing is I like use glabel in place of a fs label as it makes my devices all names something similar /dev/label/thingie rather then have /dev/ufs/rootfs and /dev/label/swap , I'll have /dev/label/rootfs /dev/label/swap. Also I dont think you can easily change a live label either . -- mark saad | nones...@longcount.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
