	It was my fault because info e2label never mentioned you must have 
label= but I recall that now is the case. I might try again tomorrow and 
change just one and see if I can get it to work. Can I do the same for 
swap as well. I guess so but I tried and it said there were a bad 
superblock.

But the loading of F7 had some weird Label on both swaps.
