Hi, I'm having trouble mounting my ext3 partitions by referencing their labels. The transcript below details the situation. Also, please note, I've tried the same procedure mounting these partitions as ext2, and also naming them with labels that don't have the leading slash (in case the label code can't handle that, though I believe it should be able to). I can't find anything wrong with the following from either manpages or online documentation, and would very much appreciate any guidance.
Thanks so much, Daniel littlebird:~# mount -l /dev/hda5 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hda6 on /boot type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda7 on /usr type ext3 (rw) /dev/hda9 on /var type ext3 (rw) tmpfs on /tmp type tmpfs (rw) littlebird:~# e2label /dev/hda8 /home littlebird:~# tune2fs -l /dev/hda8 | grep -C2 name tune2fs 1.27 (8-Mar-2002) Filesystem volume name: /home Last mounted on: <not available> Filesystem UUID: 4d8058ae-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-9dd6712b923a littlebird:~# mount -L /home /home mount: no such partition found littlebird:~# mount -U 4d8058ae-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-9dd6712b923a /home mount: no such partition found littlebird:~# mount /dev/hda8 /home kjournald starting.
