Hello John,
I'm having trouble understanding you... some questions:
Not surprising as I have some of this wrong! oops.
Let me just rephrase. I can use mkdosfs -n myvolume /dev/sdd1
to put myvolume as the label for the dos filesystem on partition 1
of /dev/sdd. Its not a partition label, its a volume label and HAL
sees this and uses it for both volume.label and
volume.policy.desired_mountpoint .
I would like to do the same thing with parted.
If I do
parted -s /dev/sdd mklabel msdos mkpartfs primary fat32 0mb -1s name
1 myvolume
I get an error back (I missed this before) saying correctly that
msods disk
labels (partition tables) do not support names. So what I want is an
option to the mkpartfs and mkfs commands to include a name that
is written to the same place as mkdosfs does with the -n option.
i.e. writing
the (up to 11 char string) to the filesytsem not the partition
table. Maybe
an optional string after then START END?
So its a feature request not a bug. sorry for the confusion.
