In this case, you can also run "mount -L /" to mount the root partition. A label '/' is a bit unfortunate IMO. I prefer partition labels like "boot", "root", "usr", "home", "data", "ftp", "www", and so on. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+SUCU0iMVcrivHFQRAhwoAJ9i0USGRcccjVWUjy4E/s1MIna+TwCfZ/Nj lH9FbxP9KKQJFQS9ospmNqA= =Fkj7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
