Weird. Why not rename the drives from the finder instead of the
terminal? Never did it that way. Maybe OSX does some extra stuff when
renaming a volume that you are not also doing in terminal. Might be
worth just doing a reformat of the drive at this point since it's now in
some weird state, appearing as multiple volumes as though there are
multiple partitions.

I have recently been fooling around with flash drives in terminal for
downloading nls digital books.
When a flash drive is inserted in a usb port the name of the product
appears in /Volumes like a directory.
Because I have two flash drives I renamed the brand name of each to
another to describe the items to be put on them.
I used the mv command to rename the flash drive. I then placed the
books in it. When the drive was removed the books were on it and were
played by the nls digital machine.
Now when i put one of the flash drives in, the original brand name
appears along with the renamed drives as described above. The renamed
drives are empty. The drive with brand name has the books placed
there originally in one of the renamed drives.
They appear as empty directories but cann't be deleted.
So, how can one rename a flash drive and how can I get rid of the
original names I chose for the brand name.
I have tried umount with no luck. Maybe there is another better
command or my syntax is off. What would be a proper command to remove
the renamed but empty drives?
Thanks.
