Thanks for pointing that anomaly out John. I'll keep that in
mind for future installations.
The full root partition label name is:
LABEL=Fedora-12-root
and there is only one entry in /etc/fstab to mount the root
partition by that label name.
Personally I can't see myself moving hard drives around
from machine to machine, as I only have 1 main machine
(tower case with 3.5" drives) and a few laptops using 2.5"
drives.
And for my Centos root partition, it will have a root label
something like:
LABEL=Centos-5-root / ext3 defaults 1 1
Again there will only be one entry in /etc/fstab for a
particular active root partition.
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
