Yes, I assign a label, then use that in the fstabs for both
installations (by manually editing fstab after installation).  Great for
sharing home partitions across installations as well.


Are there any Linuces that use a different format for swap partitions?
Or does mkswap always create the same format, regardless of distribution
or version?
