Ah, yes, that makes sense - if the directory is created by the presence of symlinks within it, then it won't be present unless you have labeled volumes present. My root partitions don't have labels, for example, and so aren't listed... For interest, the directory looks something like: $ ll /dev/disk/by-label/ total 0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 28 18:07 boot -> ../../sda1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 28 18:07 home -> ../../sda6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 28 18:07 oldboot -> ../../sdb1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 28 18:07 oldhome -> ../../sdb7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Feb 28 18:07 swap -> ../../sda2 Simon.
