Set Hard Drive Name in Ubuntu

Tuesday May 11, 2010 @ 02:49 PM (PDT)

This one is simple. Ubuntu is using volume label to show HDD name. My file system is ext3 so tool of choice is: e2label, eg. to name your disk Data use something like this:

e2label /dev/sda1 Data

For more info see Ubuntu documentation: Renaming USB Drive. Tools for other file systems are mentioned there and other useful commands.
