Just got caught again by this LABEL nonsense.
I was mounting my laptop hard disk on my desktop -
both running Fedora-
and the whole thing was thrown into confusion
because there were two partitions LABELed "/",
on my desktop hard disk and on the laptop hard disk.
I had to start again in single mode,
and change all the entries in /etc/fstab and /etc/grub.conf .
That's a common
problem when adding hdd's with other fedora installs.
How about generating a random integer at install time, and use it to
label partitions like
/_5643
/home_5643
/boot_5643
...
and reference these in fstab / grub.conf? Could this create problems?
