Re: fstab and LABEL=

I'm a little confused about the LABEL= option in /etc/fstab. Let's say
I have this line in my fstab:

LABEL=/home/archiv /home/archive3 xfs defaults 1 2

And I want to change the mountpoint of this to /archive instead of
/home/archive3. Will I need to (or should I) edit the LABEL= to reflect
the changes? Or can I just use the /dev/ instead?
You do not need to use /dev.

I had a different partitioning so I had "LABEL=" in may fstab entires. I
edited them. You can do it so. I think /home/archive3 is not your home
directory.

Here is my suggestion:

1- Create a directory under / named archiv

2-Make a copy of your fstab as fstab.1

3-Edit the fstab as given below

/archiv /home/archive3 xfs defaults 1 2

4-Save the edited fstab

5-Run mount- a

If everhting is ok, you will get no error messages.
