Historically, I would use the GPartEd program. I've also been using GNOME
disks as well.
I did some digging around. Ubuntu uses GNOME. GNOME provides "disks"
(command name: "gnome-disks"). I've used it on occasion and had no
problems. When I dug around, I found this entry on "askubuntu" -
https://askubuntu.com/questions/382220/how-to-change-the-default-volume-name-in-the-media-path
Personally I tend to be very careful when doing this sort of thing. I tend
to use GPartEd or GNOME Disks rather than the command line, just in case I
use the wrong command line for the job.
If you are at all unsure about something, ask here just to make sure things
will go OK.
HTH,
Ian
