Subject: partition labels
I installed Fedora5, CentOS4.3, and Ubuntu5.10 on my desktop. Fedora
created the (shared) swap with a label "SWAP-hda6". I'm not sure what
CentOS did with the label. Ubuntu apparently clobbered the label.

I changed the entry in Fedora's fstab from LABEL=SWAP-hda6 to /dev/hda6,
and now I have my swap back. One problem persists though. When I boot
Fedora, I get a message "Unable to access resume device
(LABEL=SWAP-hda6)" on the screen, after the "Red Hat nash starting"
message and before the "INIT booting" message. There are no apparent
messages in DMESG or log/messages.

I tried deleting and recreating the swap partition with qtparted. It has
a place to specify the label, but it didn't take (still blank). I also
tried parted and fdisk, but didn't see anywhere that I could update the
label.

Anyone know how I can create/change the label on a swap (or any) partition?

Alternatively, I've looked for somewhere/something in nash that's
specifying this label. I figure if I could change it to /dev/hda6 that
it'd be fine, but I can't seem to find where that is. Anyone know what's
going on there?

TIA for any assist.
