Well, at least this confirms that this is probably a bug as opposed to something
I'm screwing up. (BTW - this worked fine in FC1)
What seems to be happening is that anaconda sees an existing label with the same
name, so it appends a 1 (see fsset.py). Since I mount the old root in my PRE,
think I'll now add the additional step of changing the labels so they won't
conflict with the new ones anaconda wants to use. Something like the below:
mkdir -p /mnt/oldroot
for dev in `fdisk -l | grep ^/dev | grep Linux$ | cut -d\ -f 1` ; do
part=`e2label $dev`
if [ "$part" == "/" ] ; then
mount $dev /mnt/oldroot
e2label $dev old_/
else
e2label $dev old_`e2label $dev`
fi
done
