Description Charles R. Anderson 2008-01-22 18:31:56 EST

Description of problem:

I have a dual-boot system running F7 on one VolumeGroup and rawhide on
another, with two separate /boot partitions.  Anaconda labeled /dev/sda3 as
/boot even though /dev/sda2 already has this label from my F7 install.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
11.4.0.22-1

How reproducible:
didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F7
2. Install rawhide-20080121 with a new /boot partition
3. Check labels of F7 vs. F9 /boot partitions
  
Actual results:

From rescue CD:

sh-3.2# e2label /dev/sda2
/boot
sh-3.2# e2label /dev/sda3
/boot

Expected results:
Different labels.

Comment 1 Charles R. Anderson 2008-02-07 20:28:04 EST

Candidates for fixing this are filed as Bug #364441, Bug #364451.  I like the
idea of using UUIDs instead of LABELs.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2008-02-24 16:19:31 EST

We're going to switch to using UUIDs (I committed that today), but we still
shouldn't create duplicate labels.  There was a bug around the time of the alpha
which could have led to duplicate labels and I think it should be resolved now.
 Have you seen this more recently?
