BY THE WAY... The partition on your HOME drive will not bear any label so you just have to remember where each partition on that drive is to be mounted. Its best to go into fdisk and write this stuff down when you first create it because you won't remember to do it later. Print it off and stick it inside the chassis somewhere. Its easy if an entire disk is dedicated to /home.
tune2fs -L homedrive /dev/hda2 reiserfstune -l homedrive /dev/hda2 Presumably, other filesystems have similar options to add a label later on if the label wasn't created at partition time. It's handy to use the labels in the fstab, too, if you happen to move disks around on the IDE controller, or change SCSI IDs, or repartition, etc. --Danny, who needs to practice what he preaches someday... ;)
