Perhaps it would be better to have this defaulted on install to *not* use LABEL= mounting syntax. In that case, the broken device would have prevented mounting and, therefore, booting and the problem of dropping half the mirror leading to this corruption would not happen without FRAID users knowing about it. Yet another case where mounting using LABEL= syntax causes more problems than it solves. [snip] -- Lamont R. Peterson <lamont@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Senior Instructor Guru Labs, L.C.
