[ale] Duplicate disk labels...

[Dan Man]

Thanks...

I actually just edited fstab using the actual device names instead of
labels and I'm running now...

What is the purpose of the labels anyway?

You need to change the partition labels. 
/sbin/tune2fs -l /dev/<partition i.e.hda1> will output the list of
stuff. 

/sbin/tune2fs -L NewLabel /dev/hda1 will rename it.
