- New /etc/fstab
- Posted by Jürgen Leeb on July 25th, 2003
I just wanted change my /etc/fstab. But instead of the device there is
something like Label=/boot.
What does this mean?

The message <7if3iv8j472t9p79aot1360iiri6pc2en5@4ax.com>
from Gwen Morse <goldmoon@geocities.com> contains these words:
This could be due to not including support for DEVFS in the kernel. The
Red Hat kernels include this and it's necessary if you want to use
"label=".
The way I got round it was to specify the device explicitly, rather than
by label, i.e.:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-27Mar2003 ro hdc=ide-scsi root=/dev/hda7
(for my configuration).

Quick tip: Do a 'locate devfs' and find out which dir it belongs to.
$ locate devfs
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-13.9/fs/devfs
So I would look in 'FileSystems'
