Running up-to-date Sid - I have a USB stick more or less permanently
installed. The system calls it 3.7 gb removable volume. Can this name be
changed? I haven't yet found a way


Thanks

Try setting a volume label for it! It should then be picked up
automatically as the name of the volume.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive

I referred to this the other week as I needed to do the same.
