29 I made noise a while back about LABELS. Lots of comments, but
30 nothing clear to follow in the docs or a wiki or a how to. I confused
31 disklables and file system labels and other forms of lables.
32 I even filed a bug, which was closed, since *I* did not
33 have a proposal on better docs to use LABELS....
34
35 Since the guides use (old style mount
36 points) for raid, then until the guides change, I (like dale)
37 not comfortable at all with LABELS....(already tried several
38 time and got borked systems...) I'm not waisting any more time
39 on LABELS until there are some docs or examples to follow....
40 The light just never turned on and I'm done waisting time
41 on LABELS
