(sorry, can't recall the beginning of this thread= ). Apparently, but only in single-user mode. I think my problem is more one of documentation. The handbook is rather obtuse on the subject. The inability to even locate or read the labels on a mounted system is about as un-POLS as I've come across lately.... Thanks for the help, though. I booted single-user, mounted a usb-stick, and piped the output of geom label to a file on the stick. Not fun. Only having run FBSD for 4 years or so now, I wasn't aware of any good sources for this kind of info except dmesg. I'll be looking into /var/log/messages more closely in the future. You don't see it mentioned too often in reference to noob questions. Thanks, Steve
