Does LABEL use the names from the partition table?
pdisk tells me that my partitions are named "Untitled", "Untitled 2" and so forth. A bit of reading turned up the tidbit that this is a bug/misfeature of Mac OS 9's Drive Setup (which I used because the Mac OS X Disk Utility won't let you make partitions smaller than 4 GB - depends on how many partitions you split your disk into). I'm assuming that LABEL= uses the names from the partition table (less reading from disk, more stable)? Too bad that pdisk doesn't have the "n" (rename partition) feature any more, it seems to have lost it somewhere along the road from MkLinux.
RE: Does LABEL use the names from the partition table?
UUID is an alternate option, universal name-independent 16-digit strings...I managed to make them work, basically am amble to use drives as I might in any other unix-based OS, though the fstab file is more robot-oriented than human. Am submitting article concurrently with this... |
