changing label of disk

[Bedros Hanounik]

here's a noob question. I have a usb HD using reiserfs 3.6

I want to change the label of the disk, so when it's automounted, the mounting point has some meaning such as "backup" instead of "usbdisk"

fstab-sync seems to use the label of the disk to create a mounting point.

mkfs.reiserfs -l label will overwrite the old data; is there a way to edit the old lable w/o reformating the disk, other than hexedit the disk?

Thanks,

-B
