program generates 'LABEL=/home' line in /etc/fstab. I tried fwfstab
program, but it can't manage labels.
Do you use ext3 filesystems?
If so, use: e2label

Jan, Tore, Matt, thanks, e2label did the job. BTW is it possible to
erase a label? For instalce, I just renamed the old hda7 label (/home),
but I didn't know how to remove it. It's not very important, but if
someone knows... :)

Thanks again to all of you guys!
