do you mean /sbin/e2label /dev/yourdevname
or /sbin/blkid
Both are not part of fdisk -l results, though. ;)
What I mean is this:
When I "fdisk" -l I get:
/dev/sdb1 1 338 2714953+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/sdb2 * 339 5560 41945715 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3 5561 12087 52428127+ 83 Linux
There's a crafty little script running around somewhere that gives you the
fdisk readout plus the partition labels when you run it:
/dev/sdb1 1 338 2714953+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/sdb2 * 339 5560 41945715 83 Linux Fedora9-32
/dev/sdb3 5561 12087 52428127+ 83 Linux Fedora9-64
I "think" someone provided this in the web forum but I've been unable to
locate it.

The "mount -l" command gives you all the info you want, not in nice format.
The next command is just one way of doing it:
mount -l | grep dev | egrep -v 'tmpfs|pts' | awk '{print $1"\t" $3"\t" $5"\t" $6"\t" $7}'
the output gives you the device name, mount point, fs type, mount
options and filesystem label if it exists.
To label a partition use "e2label /dev/sdaX myLabel".
The e2label man page has more info.
Well, mount -l gives me output but mount -l | grep dev | egrep -v
'tmpfs|pts' | awk '{print $1"\t" $3"\t" $5"\t" $6"\t" $7}' gives me
nothing at all.
As for e2label, I've been using it for years and have no difficulty
actually labeling partitions. My desire here is to get a listing of all
dev labels on all hd's on the machine.
As someone suggested, I tried /sbin/blkid. Results are mixed. It appears
that it also provides previous and now nonexistent partition information.
Whatever, I am still searching the old web forum threads to see if I can
locate the script I am wanting.
I also woke up and installed the gnome gui of gparted. That provides me
with the label info for all hd's. Would be nice if fdisk was designed
with the same function to list dev labels though.
Thanks all,
Trapper
