Older versions (1.8.7 and 1.8.8) do support partition labels too, even if the manual doesn't mention them. The semantics of mkpart (and many other commands) depend on the disk label type (see mklabel). The gpt disk label partition table is linear; 'primary', 'logical' and 'extended' are meaningless with a linear partition table. Instead, the 'part-type' string is used as the label of the partiton. The label can be modified with the name command. -- printf -v email $(echo \ 155 141 162 143 145 154 142 162 165 151 \ 156 163 155 141 100 171 141 150 157 157 056 143 157 155|tr \ \\\\) # Live every life as if it were your last! #

It used to be said that you had to run SuSEconfig after modifying a configuration file manually. I allways did that, and never had any loss. Just checked it out, seems 11.1 still has a SuSEconfig in it. -- Any time things appear to be going better, you have overlooked something. |
