Yes, for file systems on regular partitions. File systems on software RAID or LVM partitions do not have labels (however, those have its own share of problems that need to be delt with from rescue mode when moving drives between systems). In a nutshell. Either prepare disks to be moved while they are still in the old system. Or boot straight into rescue mode (and chose "do not look for my OS installations") after the disks are moved. No way around it. -- Aleksandar Milivojevic <amilivojevic at pbl.ca> Pollard Banknote Limited Systems Administrator 1499 Buffalo Place Tel: (204) 474-2323 ext 276 Winnipeg, MB R3T 1L7
