Alas, now that I am making 2 hard drives with the exact same F7 on
them LABEL is causing me all kinds of problems. Even the F7 Rescue
complained :-)
You used dd so you copied the label. Using tools like rsync -a to make
copies would have been saner.
So the only fix is for me to go back to exact partition names so I
can continue to get my understanding of dd complete. I think dd will
work fine IFF the partition your sending data to is larger than the one
it is coming from, and you do NOT put a file system in the destination
partition.
dd will byte copy so you get exact copies in size, label, attributes, the
lot.
tune2fs -L DerekTheDisk /dev/whatever
will change the label on that volume to DerekTheDisk (or FreddieFlash or
whatever you put for up to 16 chars)
