Labels and mounting problems

Is there a place where you can see the actual labels set up,
not just in
the fstab; and is there a way to get rid of no longer needed
labels?

Try blkid:

[rootsilver ~]# blkid
/dev/hda1: TYPE="ntfs"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="/boot"

/dev/sda3: LABEL="/"

For an individual partition, you can grep for
"^Filesystem volume"
from the output of dumpe2fs <partition>, e.g.:

# dumpe2fs /dev/hdc6|grep ^Filesystem volume
dumpe2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
Filesystem volume name:   <none>

(There is no label set on this filesystem).

Use the "-L" option to tune2fs to set volume
labels.

Ahh, thanks, I wasn't aware of "blkid".  Even
after all these years,
one can still learn something new everyday.  =)

Hmmm...  Seems that some of my posts somehow don't get to
the mailing
list...  Strange.

Anyhow, as I attempted to contribute in my original reply
(that seems to
be silently discarded by the list for whatever reason),
there's e2label
command.  It can read and write label onto device.  Just
give it device
name as argument (for example e2label /dev/hda).  If you
want to write
label, give it as second argument (e2label /dev/hda
something).  You can
use empty argument to get rid of the label (e2label /dev/hda
"").
