In my /etc/fstab here is just a snippet LABEL=/1 ....<rest of line> LABEL=/boot1 ....<rest of line> When i installed centOS-4.3 and it has appeared after starting to use any version of centOS4 was that the labels in my fstab were getting the "1" appended to each label... but if the all the labels for my partitions are appended with the "1" and i format and reload they show up in my partition setup during installation and i re-label them appropriately without the "1" and the /etc/fstab doesnt have the "1" appended... its like every other install the "1" gets appended....anyone come across this... if show how can i change it....i know its not like it makes a difference but I just noticed wondering why this happens.
