This is what gparted calls a "partition label" and certainly does not need a 4.5 megabyte camera image to see. or even a 50k screen snap. Taking this screenshot was a pita, because the gparted window disappears behind the terminal screen when you click on take another shot, so you have to quit, then find the gparted on the tool bar to bring it back to the front, then move it and the terminal so its not totally hidden. Then rerun spectacle again waste a click bringing it fwd, then 30 seconds later the spectacal instructions finally show up and after 5 minutes of screwing around, finally get the screen shot attached to prove I'm not lieing.
If we take that literally that would be a GPT partition name, but you've used this same terminology before and meant a filesystem label.My only question it will those partition names survive lvcreating an 11T lvm out of these and 2 more 2T gigastones.Assuming you meant partition name the first time as well, nothing you do other than a disk wipe or re-name should alter those partition names. But your chosen partition names don't make a lot of sense to me. You've picked names based on the type/manufacturer of device so you may as well have just used the names from /dev/disk/by-id/… which already have that information and are already never going to change. I don't know why you want to complicate matters. If instead you put filesystems on these partitions and labelled *those*, well, no, LVM goes under filesystems so those filesystems and their labels (and contents) are not long for this world.I have not dealt with an lvm in about 15+ years trying it once when it first came out with a high disaster rating then.I hope you are putting a level of redundancy under that LVM or are using the redundancy features of LVM (which you need to go out of your way to do). Otherwise by default what you'll have is not redundant and a device failure will lose at least the contents of that device, possibly more. Regards, Andy ¹ and while you are there, maybe a post-it note with "I will show the exact command I used any time I write to debian-user" stuck to the top of the display of the screen you use to compose emails would help, because basically every thread you post here lacks that information.
