The printer the OP pointed to seems to be rated at 203DPI and I
somehow thought it had 300dpi. (203 seems very odd.)
The printers I have been trying to print QR-codes on are actually
300dpi printers. They can do both thermal transfer or use a ribbon
that transfers ink to the labels kinda like typ

As for my post office, their barcodes do not match 300dpi or 600dpi.
They are scaled at about 75-80% of what they should be. I'm really
surprised they work. I can only guess most people use 1200dpi.
Thermal labels are the way to go as the

resampled images may be put back to correct places in the document

P.S. Post office guys may believe that labels created using laser
printers are more resistant to wearing during processing and delivery,
so 300dpi resolution may be i
e best solution for barcodes. Sadly there is none other than print the
barcode as big as possible in your page real-estate.

That works for 600dpi laser printers. When you print the QR-code with

To summarize: There are 3 disks on the machine

sdb is _not_ mounted but contained an older

It isn't booting from sdb or sdc or sdz. (Hopefully you did not chain

I just discovered that the commands for reading ans setting volume labels
have 'e2' in their names, like e2label. Does this mean that I can label
my partitions only if I put an ext2 of ext3 file system on them? Or is
there some other mechanism I should know about?

without "reformatting" it, though such may well exist.
Add the label to /etc/fstab the same as you did for the file system labels.

e2label, perhaps unsurprisingly, given it's name, only handles ext2 and
ext3 filesystems. See

Hi Bob,
Thanks: it works as described.
Just 1 other question: can I label my swap partition?
If I try e2label /dev/sda5 /my_name it returns:
e2label: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb5
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

Groeten,

using lables in fstab and grub (menu.lst).
But whatever I do, I cannot find a way to add labels in my fstab an grub
that actually work. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to make my
machine boot reliable using labels with fstab/grub? I have tried to add
labels to both fstab and menu.lst but a
r ext[23],
the command is 'e2label -L label', for xfs it's 'xfs_admin -L label',
where 'label' is any name you choose, within the size limits specified
in the man page for the commands. Note the lower/upper case option with
the xfs command.

Hi
Can anyone give me a quick and generic recipe to mount HDs/USBpens by
their labels?
I've read many Udev articles but haven't figure that out yet.
thanks
I know that partitions can have labels. For ext2/ext3 partitions you
can set/see partition labels using
