Description Ernst Sjöstrand 2005-11-09 08:06:25 UTC
Please describe the problem:
It's not called disklabel, it's called partion table, isn't it?
I noticed the use of this term incorrectly when translation GParted.
The strings I've found are in Dialog_Disklabel.cc .

A disklabel is is something you set with e2label like "Ubuntu" and there's one
per partition.
A partition tabel is one per disk and of a type like MSDOS or Apple.

Steps to reproduce:


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Hi Ernst,

afaik the 'disklabel' describes the TYPE of the partitiontable. There are several types of partitiontables like 'msdos' and 'amiga'.

What you are describing would be a volumename or label.

But.. i might be mistaken ;) please reopen if so.
