All three disks have identical partition tables and all of the

CentOS, with a 2.6<mumble> kernel, barfs: it complains about the
duplicate labels and does not mount anything.

My solution was to have different labels for each install.
I use e2label to change partition labels.

I will only have one install. The second disk is a mirrored backup
(via a once a week rsync script). I need it to have the same labels,
otherwise I would need to edit the fstab file when it gets backed up
(and unedited when restored).
