Argl. We now need a Volume-name?
With 10.0 it was the Filesystem-name that was used.

I hate to be forced back to windows.
I just did the ugly hack:
echo '0000040: 0000 2951 1364 f04a 5720 3033 2d30 352d 3133' | xxd -c 18 -r -
/dev/sda1
to put a copy of my filesystem label in the volume label.
Don't do this at home, kids!
Anyone to make a nice script (including sanity checks!) for that?
cheers,
Jw.
