Package: gnu-fdisk
Version: 1.2.4-3.1
Severity: normal

Hi!

I just tried GNU cfdisk, and saw that it does not
display my filesystem labels. There is nothing in the
"label" column of the program.

The cfdisk from util-linux displays the labels fine,
as does the output of tune2fs. I have three primary
partitions, all with ext3 filesystems with labels set
by either mke2fs or tune2fs, i.e. a completely
ordinary setup. I even mount my filesystems using the
"label=" syntax in /etc/fstab. SO they are there, it
is just that GNU cfdisk does not seem to display them
for some reason.

Best regards
Torquil Sørensen
