Greetings,
I've been trying to use fatlabel to rename a Western Digital 2TB
USB/external drive. However, the results have been with no success
either with the drive mounted or not.
Much thanks for any advice on how to proceed.

Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0.
manpage says:
fatlabel (8) - set or get MS-DOS filesystem label
So, is (are) the partion (partitions) formatted as vfat filesystem?
If they are not formatted as vfat filesystems, then you have to label them
using the labeling command specific to the type of FS you will create on
them.
