Exactly what do you mean by "name" here?

If it's the disk label, you can change it with `tune2fs -L`.

If it's the device id, you can use another disk attribute in fstab, including:
 - LABEL=     # ls -l /dev/disk/by-label
 - UUID=      # ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
 - PARTUUID=  # ls -l /dev/disk/by-partuuid
 - PARTLABEL= # lsblk -oNAME,PARTLABEL

To see all fstab-able fields at once:

$ lsblk -oNAME,LABEL,UUID,PARTUUID,PARTLABEL

Cheers ... Duncan.
