"Label Changing", how nice of you to bring this up. Fact is, the kernel it self uses device-nodes (e.g. /dev/sdb1) everything else, including labels is not needed for the kernel.
The whole 'by-label', 'by-id', or 'by-path' huddle is just placed on top of that, and AFAIK handled by "udev"
To me "Changing" a label is part of the filesystem-tools and udev-tools, just HOW that is presented to the users is a extra beast.
Normal way would be: - un-mount <old label> - <fs-tool> <dev-node> <new label> - <re-detect device to let udev know about change> - mount <new label>
Note: some filesystems allow to change label while mounted.
Pack that in a app with a (G)UI, and you will have fans for it.
alt-f2, gnome-disks, enter The UI is not that intuitive, but it does exactly what you want among others. -- Stefan Seyfried "If your lighter runs out of fluid or flint and stops making fire, and you can't be bothered to figure out about lighter fluid or flint, that is not Zippo's fault." -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
