To write a new msdos label you need to use mlabel which is a part of the mtools package. It is a little awkward to use (you have to edit ~/.mtoolsrc every time the actual /dev/sdX name changes) but it does work. For ext2/3 file systems you can just use tune2fs. I actually format most of my USB sticks with ext2 and then label them so that udev/hotplug mounts them consistently. Of course I can't really use them with Windows, but for me that is not really a problem. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmx1VsACgkQwRXgH3rKGfPX2wCgjXZYYUmFzop59867ABRvoO7q Jr8AoJo3oCEPb3fDdSGYhoCGSu+jakOZ =WNgR -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
