Maybe this is how the installer configured them? It's certainly valid to have no label, which is what (null) is. I have to confess that when I ran away from systemd about 7 years ago I had little to no interest in gpart partition labels. But in the last year or two I finally groked the underlying idea and now I am pretty careful to make them and keep them up-to-date. I guess I was default highly allergic to messing around with partition tables, but gpart has been really smooth. Warren Block's disk setup page helped me see the light: http://wonkity.com/~wblock/docs/html/disksetup.html Russell > Not quite sure why there are two "backup". > The "(null)"s are swap space. > > > Respectfully, > > > Robert Huff >
