How we can create the differet volume label of the linux machines or change the volume label of linux machines. AFAIK Linux doesn't do volume labels. It does, however, have filesystem labels which are not _quite_ the same. Depending on your filesystem, e2label may work. Note that RH (and probably other vendors) are moving from labels (if they used them) to UUIDs. They are about as easy to remember and use as Microsoft product codes. -- Cheers John -- spambait [email protected] [email protected] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T
