the installer should label the partitions it creates. it's a useful convention that's also supported by cfdisk. another thing this does is provide hints for the installer upon re-installation... stig example: ## stig/jato (pts/4) -- Fri Jan 28 -- 19:16:48 ## ## jato: /tmp >> mount | sed -n 's,\(/dev/hda.\) on \([^ ]*\) type ext2.*,tune2fs -L \2 \1,p' tune2fs -L / /dev/hda5 tune2fs -L /boot /dev/hda1 tune2fs -L /m2 /dev/hda6 tune2fs -L /m3 /dev/hda3 gets you: t checked: Mon Jan 24 13:02:28 2000 cfdisk 2.9w Disk Drive: /dev/hda Size: 36529274880 bytes Heads: 16 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 70780 Name Flags Part Type FS Type [Label] Size (MB) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- hda1 Boot Primary Linux ext2 [/boot] 100.13 hda5 Logical Linux ext2 [/] 3000.07 hda6 Logical Linux ext2 [/m2] 4999.94 hda3 Primary Linux ext2 [/m3] 8000.01 hda4 Primary Linux ext2 [/m4] 20429.15
