Current mkreiserfs for suse 9.1 does:
-l | --label LABEL Set the volume label of the filesystem. LABEL can be at most 16 characters long; if it is longer than 16 characters, mkreiserfs will truncate it.
For pre-existig systems, "reiserfstune -l" has also supported that for quite a while. For some reason, the LABEL= thing has yet to start working with reiser, though. I've had bad luck using LABEL= with reiser both in the boot args *and* in /etc/fstab. BTW, It's quite aggrevating for /usr to not mount when you're testing, and for your text editor to depend on /usr. :) --Danny
