Bryn M. Reeves: > Huh?!? This is going back a long way, but as I recall it was the "mlabel" command that allowed you to add a volume name to a FAT drive. But you couldn't just do something like: mlabel /dev/sdb2 crapos First you had to use one command to associate /dev/sdb2 with a psuedo-drive letter e: (for example's sake), then you'd use the mlabel command with that psuedo drive letter, and your desired volume name. Intuitive it wasn't, and a real pain the neck to have to do. Particularly if you needed to customise several things. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
