I'm having no luck figuring out why
alias Vol='tune2fs -l $1 | grep volume'

That works fine here
It gets me exactly what I want from the command line, but fails as an alias.
- I'd be curious to know more about /dev/hda7
Leave off the grep filter? When I want to know if there is a volume label set, I run tune2fs -l on the appropriate partition. Without a grep or less filter, the only part of its output that I want scrolls offscreen before I can see it. -- "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteoousness." 2 Timothy 3:16 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
