I am not the original poster, but I tried again and I now am mostly using labels and the labels are still showing in /dev/ufs/. I didn't have labels showing in /dev/ufs, but I changed fstab to what they should be and rebooted. The system came up using the labels and they are showing in /dev/ufs/ and using 'glabel status'. I say mostly because the /usr partition isn't recognized for some reason, even though dumpfs and tunefs show the label. That label is also not shown in /dev/ufs or using 'glabel status'. That made the reboot a little tricky since I had to manually mount /usr in order to get an editor to edit fstab to continue the boot. --=20 Carl Johnson carlj@peak.org
