No, because it's a filesystem label for the ext4 fs created on

member of an MD array, there won't be an ext4 filesystem on it any
more. The labels go with the filesystem.
It isn't a filesystem LABEL.
Oh dear, I am lost. I don't use gparted but at least one person in
this thread has said that Gene created a filesystem label not a
partition name, and Gene doesn't know which he created, so I've gone
from guessing partition name to fs label and now back to partition
name again.
I'm totally willing to believe that you know what you've created
there though, so fair enough.
You've not yet been clear about what you want, but from what little
information you have provided you've been told multiple times by
multiple people that filesystem labels won't help.

… which would be moot if only Gene could create partition PARTLABELs
successfully.
Which I have found can also be done with gparted, so the 1st 2 drives
which will be put in slot 2 as the Top and Bottom drives in that 2 drive
adaptor in slot 2, have had their partitions labeled as SIPWRS2T and
SIPWRS2B. And labeled as such with a P-Touch. The other 2 that just
walked in the door, are still cold enough to sweat if unsealed.
Sure, but we still don't know what Gene is trying to do or why
partition names would be useful to him so I am kind of sceptical
that this leads anywhere.
That part if the ^%$ drives ever get here, I just looked at the front
deck and it has 2" of fresh white stuff on it.
To describe what I am building, this is a 5 slot bare drive cage. You
could throw tom cats thru it from most angles so I printed pretty sides
for it.
I've printed drawers to fill those slots. The top slot has a bpi-m5 in
it, the bottom slot has a 5 volt 10 amp psu in it. slot 2 will have 2 of
those nearly 4T SSD's in a 2 drive adapter, with full disk partitions on
them, so obviously I should name the top one as "si-pwr-s2t". the bottom
one then s/b si-pwr-s2b
slot-3 then s/b si-pwr-s3t and si-pwr-s3b.
slot-4 then is giga-s4t1 and giga-s4t2. ditto for the bottom one. named
giga-s4b1 and giga-s4b2. 1 partition to hold amanda's database and one
to serve as amanda's holding disk.
Whats so meaningless to you that you can't see the utility in that? That
has not been explained, so please educate me as to why you think its
worthless?
Thanks,
Andy
