after install the e2tools the e2label worked fine.

because it was , seemingly, not working i had tried a few different rename
options
which are as follows and i cannot truly say which one worked

sudo sudo e2label /media/disk 2linux (most probably the working command)

sudo e2label /dev/sdb1 "2linux"

the change did not take place till i rebooted ???

this is my current renamed external device profile
/dev/sdb1     ext3     92G   53G   35G  60% /media/2linux
/dev/sdb2     vfat     56G  1.3G   55G   3% /media/disk


as you can see it renamed the device at the mount point and not the device
it self
