[Hoary] How to assign a volume label to removeable devices ?

[Vincent Trouilliez]

When you burn a CD, you can give it a name, and when you mount it,
Nautilus uses this label/name to display it under the CD drive icon.

In MS-DOS you had the "volume" (IIRC) command to give a name to ZIP
disks, floppy discs etc. How do I do that in Ubuntu ?
Is there a unique command that works for all kind of removeable media,
or do you multiple command for USB devices/memory cards, ZIP disk,
floppies etc ?

That would help a lot in making Ubuntu more refined/polushed/user
friendly.

Thanks in advance... :-)
