Re: Partition mounting under RHEL4

e2label PARTITION

simply returns the label for the partition.

e2label PARTITION NEWLABEL

replaces the label on the partition. It does not change any of the data on the partition.

I will report back when I get more information and answers to your questions.
BTW, when using e2label to create a label is it destructive to the partition? I don't want to lose data on these partitions.

Thanks,
Bruce

What does 'fdisk -l /dev/sda' return? How about for sdb and sdc? Did you create partitions (/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb1, /dev/sdc1)?

If you did create partitions, what does 'e2label /dev/sda1' return? If not, how about 'e2label /dev/sda'?
