Difficulty mounting ext3 partitions with labels...

[Daniel Freedman <freedman@physics.cornell.edu>]

Hi,

I'm having trouble mounting my ext3 partitions by referencing their labels.
The transcript below details the situation.  Also, please note, I've tried
the same procedure mounting these partitions as ext2, and also naming them
with labels that don't have the leading slash (in case the label code can't
handle that, though I believe it should be able to).  I can't find anything
wrong with the following from either manpages or online documentation, and
would very much appreciate any guidance.

Thanks so much,
Daniel
