CentOS - Jun 2006 - Appended 1 in fstab entries CentOS4.X installs

In my /etc/fstab here is just a snippet

LABEL=/1 ....<rest of line>
LABEL=/boot1 ....<rest of line>


When i installed centOS-4.3 and it has appeared after starting to use
any version of centOS4
was that the labels in my fstab were getting the "1" appended to each
label...

but if  the all the labels for my partitions are appended with the "1"
and i format and reload
they show up in my partition setup during installation and i re-label
them appropriately without the "1"
and the /etc/fstab doesnt have the "1" appended...

its like every other install the "1" gets appended....anyone come
across
this...
if show how can i change it....i know its not like it makes a difference
but I just
noticed wondering why this happens.

there would have already been a label=/ on one of the drives when you
did the install.. the installer will append a '1' to prevent breaking
any other config's you might have already had ( specially if the machine
is dual / tripple booting ).

Im not dual booting nor triple booting. CentOS is the only OS on the system.
I have have to format and reload. I just select the partitions re-name them 
back to / or /boot etc..and select to format with ext3 patition type. I dont
actually select each partition and delete them then re-create them. I have 
always done this even in centos3 and I never had the problem in centos3.
Matter of fact I installed a true RHEL4 install and it does the same thing, 
also same result of RHEL3 as in centos3.

Ok so its a bug(feature?) HEH. alright. Well I'll just deal with it for now.

Is there a way to fix the appended 1 after a completed install.

My guess is that you've got multiple linux installations.

After your first install, you would have partitions with labels such as 
"/" and "/usr".  Install again without removing existing
partitions, and
the installer will create new partitions labelled "/1" and
"/usr1".

fdisk will show you the list of partitions on your disk.
