<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I have a new DELL Precision n470 and I used the RedHat
WS4 Linux (kernel 2.6.9-22ELsmp).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I've just found that I can't mount my 2nd harddisk
/dev/sdb1. Somehow, your dev-mapper</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>would pick up whatever label that I make with the harddisk ---
I have changed the disk </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>label with e2label a couple times and
reboot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If I do,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>mount -L /mnt/disk2</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I'd get the message:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>mount: the label /mnt/disk2 occurs on both /dev/sdb1 and
/dev/mapper/nvidia_bafiedbg1 - not mounted</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT
size=2>==========================================================================</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>This is the case even if I "e2label" the harddisk to something
and reboot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Under /dev/mapper, do a "ls -l", I see :</FONT></DIV>
