Hello folks, I got the problem solved. For those woho are interested: As mlabels did not really help me (because mlabels already showed, there is NO label on the device), I put the sd-card in and search below /etc/udev and /dev to links pointing to that name. I found some limks and directories pointing to that label name. Deleting them and the device entries in those directories did not help at first, but after a reboot the label was gone. Everything is now working as wanted. Thank you very much for all the help! Cheers! Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
