RHEL does indeed use labels.
John, the labels you refer to are filesystem labels, not volume labels. The filesystem labels are not visible until *after* the DASD driver has made all the disks present. Rob is lamenting that the DASD driver is unable to use VOLSER to map disk device to block node (i.e. we're not able to do something like dasd=L0A201,L0A202,L0A203 on the kernel command line). Well, maybe lamenting is the wrong word... :) Cheerio, Vic Cross -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
