Can some wise person enlighten me why cant you use disklabels with Linux software raid in fstab?

All raid arrays are started at the same time, but to have mount to identify LABEL's you need mkfs.ext3 to be used with the -L <label name> option at format time. Like this:

# mkfs.ext3 -R stride=4096 -L /home /dev/md0

or (if already in production) :

# tune2fs -L /home /dev/md0

<Flamesuit On> LABEL's suck big time any ways. I don't use them. BTW: ReiserFS hasn't even made room for it in the superblock.. Waste of space. :-) </Flamesuit>
