Re: mount-by-label finds drive not array ????

Check the archives for the list.. There was a discussion on labels within
the last two months, I believe. The only solution was to avoid mounting by
label.

Hi,

I'm accustomed to doing something like:

LABEL=tomsvol2  /mnt/foo   ext3      defaults        0 2

But if I do that on my raid-5 md arrays, it tries to mount
disk 1 of the 4 disks that make up the array!  Apparently,
the first stripe has enough of the filesystem that it must be
thinking that is what to mount!  Even with type "FD"!!!

So, with an array /dev/md0 made of hda1 hdb1 hdc1 hdd1, I am
having to do a literal:

/dev/md0        /mnt/bar      ext3      defaults        0 4

Since if I do it by "LABEL=", it tries to mount hda1, not md0!

Is this just a known/accepted brain-deadness of the mount code?

Tom,

I'm just considering doing something like this.

Did you ever get any resolution to this issue?

Thanks,

R.
