How can be that? :-?
I still don't have any ext4 filesystem to try out but "man tune2fs"
seems pointing to ext4 as well.

There are desktop GUI based tools that can also cope with that, like
GNOME's palimpsets.

It isn't. I just changed the Label on an ext4 partition using tune2fs -L
It seems that Mr Mardorf is mistaken, yet again. His FUD rating is
continuing to rise.

That's my small USB flash drive (128 MiB) with just one partition on it
that's labeled "PRUEBAS" and then I can mount it by issuing:
sm01@stt008:~$ umount /media/PRUEBAS
stt008:~# mount -L PRUEBAS /media
stt008:~# mount|grep -i sdc
/dev/sdc1 on /media type vfat (rw)
How to give a label to a partition? I always make that step when
formatting the drive but it can be done afterwards with "tune2fs" or
Yeah, I also gave them name during initial formatting, which can be
recognized in Desktop environment,
but in console, not be able to do that.
If you have the util-linux package installed you can identify the
partitions by running cfdisk /dev/sdb ln the console. If you have them
Labeled cfdisk does display them.
Thanks, now I figured out which ones are the ones by mounted them one by
one.
May I suggest that you install the debian-reference package for your
language and read through it. Doing so will better prepare you for, not
only running your system better but might also help in your
troubleshooting of it. It is a must for newbies and not-so-newbies
because of the wealth of information it contains about Debian Linux.
Hope this helps
Wayne

Hum, let's see if he can provide further information on the above
statement. Ralf...?
