Quick, and hopefully easy, question:

I have a Firewire hard drive, which, miraculously enough, actually seems
to work properly in Linux (Fedora Core 6). The file system is fat32
(fdisk code "b"), which is OK, since this is meant as a temporary
storage drive, not as something high performance or reliable.

I want to mount this disk up in the same place (/mnt/scratch-disk) every
time I boot, automatically. Since the location of the disk on the bus is
going to be changing soon (more firewire disks are coming!), I want to
just slap a device label on the partition and then use that as the
reference in fstab to mount it up.

But, for the life of me, I have no idea how to change the device label.
Does anyone know how to do this? You can assume the partition in
question is /dev/sde1. :)

Bonus question: I'd like to do the same thing with my main storage,
which is a Firewire RAID (/dev/md0). The file system on that is ext3.
How should I approach that?

Thanks!
