The label gets removed when you run mke2fs.I believe this was the problem that golinux had a few months ago. She formatted the partitions in gparted and gave them labels, but then the labels were gone at the end of the installation. In the previous installers, if you selected to use labels, you would be asked to supply the label, and it would be added with e2label. (In the section that starts at line 1094)
In the beta installer, there's an option to let the installer know that you're formatting the partitions first, and mke2fs won't run. If you select to use labels in fstab, the installer will do one of two things - if labels exist, it will use them, and if they don't exist, it will ask you to supply them.
The blkid window (an xterm) in the older installers (including current stable version) would not show the changes if you made or changed labels in gparted. The beta should show the true current state with the '-c /dev/null' option. Make sure you're using the yad-based installer, as the zenity-based script hasn't been updated yet.
And you shouldn't need to comment out line 923 anymore (in the beta installer). You can set it in the options. It's option 10, "Do not format filesystems. I'll handle it myself."
Try this - take a partition that has a label and run mke2fs on it. Run 'blkid', and you'll still see the label, because it's still listed in etc/blkid.tab. Run 'blkid -c /dev/null' and you won't see the label, because it doesn't exist. If you want, you can compare this to what you see in /dev/disk/by-label, which does get updated when you add, change or remove a label. (Incidentally, the only way I can figure to remove a label is to format the filesystem.)
I'm aware of the snapshot count registering as zero. Just noticed this in the past few days, and I can't figure it out. I'll probably start a new thread about it.
Edit: No new thread right now. Looks like line 172 of refractasnapshot-gui, in the check_copies function needs to change from this:
- Code: Select all
if [[ -e "$snapshot_dir"/*.iso ]] ; then
to either one of these:
- Code: Select all
if ls "$snapshot_dir"/*.iso ; then
if ls "$snapshot_dir"/*.iso > /dev/null ; then
