Ben, say your logical volume path is /dev/vg00/lv01 and that LV holds your ext2 filesystem. tune2fs -L Whatever /dev/vg00/lv01 # labels it with volume name "Whatever" If you have an entry in /etc/fstab like: /dev/vg00/lv01 /mnt ext2 defaults 1 1 running "mount -L Whatever" should do the trick. Presumably /mnt exists and the volume group is active. > > > _______________________________________________ > linux-lvm mailing list > linux-lvm@sistina.com > http://lists.sistina.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-lvm > read the LVM HOW-TO at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ -- Regards, Heinz -- The LVM Guy -- *** Software bugs are stupid.
