Most of the USB drives come with a FAT partition (until MS says otherwise), including the NAND flash "thumb" drives, so they do have a volume label, though it may be an empty string, and the volume label can be set as usual. There may be special case devices that have some sort of proprietary encrypted filesystem, but the ones I have played with have a normal FAT filesystem.

This is also the behaviour you'll see if you set a filesystem Volume label.

And, the SimpleTech drive. It is another USB device. I want to have
a directory in /media called simpletech created if this drive is turned
on/connected/mounted.  Guess what I see when I turn it on?


drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 Dec 31 02:43 simpletech/

Do these devices have volume labels or have you been having to resort to other means?
