I need volume "label" which is not discovered by logical disk nor
win32_logicaldisk contains that property,  this value is only found on
win32_volume WMI class.

The reason is that I need to find a method to dynamically populate groups
for SQL dosk mount points that are set to not auto grow,  these generate
unnecessary low free disk space alerts.

If there is a better way I'm all for it,  I just can't think or know of
one.
