It's probably Nautilus responsible for the labels, and yes, it is possible. Far as I can tell, the preferred label is actually the volume ID if there is one (as reported by HAL) - otherwise it falls back to creating a label based on other information. I've actually got two flash drives plugged in right now - one shows up as "LFSDisk", the other as "1.9 GB Removable Volume". They're identical hardware, but the first has been reformatted as ext2 and given a label. Simon.
