don't plug one of those into a different system for repair or you'll have all kinda grief. $HOSTNAME_root would be the sane way to do it...
I'm trying to figure out why I'd plug one into a different system for repair. Either the drive's bad, or I'm re-embodying a server that died, but left good drives. If it's going bad, the*only* thing I'm going to do is plug it into a hot-swap bay (just about all of ours have those, love them) to recover some data, then wipe it.
exactly. and if you put that drive in a hotswap bay of another system that is using the same label, thats a potential for a big mess. same thing with LVM volume groups, you want their names globally unique, I notice EL6 now embeds the hostname in the VG...
