Amen to this. Might not be possible to automatically fix everything
that can happen, but if I know I'm installing in a machine
where I'm going to be plugging back in some disks, it would be
exceedingly handy to be able to explicitly set the disk label during
install so I don't have to change the label later and fix grub.conf
and fstab files.
Worse yet, the system can use labels for lots of different kinds of
partitions, yet as near as I can tell, no available linux tool can change
the label on anything except an ext2/3 partition (swap is a common one
that comes to mind).
Urm, swap contains no important data so just re-run mkswap
swapoff /dev/hda2
mkswap -L FooBar /dev/hda2
swapon -L FooBar
Regards,
Dan.
