I need to fix the disk partition labels on this 2T drive I've installed stretch on. tune2fs on wheezy is too old, won't touch the stretch prepared drive. I haven't found a tune2fs yet on stretch, but did after 10 minutes of putzing, get a root session of gparted going, but of course the device is mounted when booted to stretch, so the stretch gparted can't cross a t or dot an i. So how can I fix that? Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Some kind of rescue mode, including via a different mounted operating system, was my thought, too. Reach in from the outside... That thought came from having taken a quick poke at GParted. It doesn't allow label changes on mounted partitions (either). The label name option is visible on right click but is grayed out so that it can't be clicked. It makes sense. Everything's been put into gear using certain descriptives that a user might type in to call something into some form of action. There's probably a phenomenal number of [operations] that would freak/black out/go dark if we were able to change singularly definable partitions' labels while they're actively on call. :) Cindy :) -- Cindy-Sue Causey Talking Rock, Pickens County, Georgia, USA * runs with birdseed *

So for the record, use e2label, it can apparently be used safely on a live stretch-9.8.0 64 bit system.

Then nothing is mounted and you can do what you like. --doug

And for the archive, that worked on the live system, thanks Felix. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
