FUSE might be used to apply an invented name to a freshly formatted partition, 
but I don't see it doing that for an existing one - it would report the name 
associated with the partition recognition criteria at mount time. I haven't 
looked at the code for it lately, but don't remember it having any hooks to 
support such spoofing, at least.

Are you sure about that? Even with FUSE on Linux?
