The 'mount' command works fine with XFS labels (once you turn off devfs!). However the problem lies with the fsck command. The RedHat 7.1 system we have runs 'fsck -A...' at boot time which is needed for the remaining ext2 partitions. This complains that it cannont find 'LABEL=xxx' for XFS partitions even when we configure /etc/fstab has f_passno=0 for the XFS mounts. Is there a patch out there for fsck to fix this problem? We are currently using e2fsprogs-1.21 from RawHide since it is needed for the 2.4.5-0.2.9 RawHide kernel which you have patched. Thanks, Roger
