You can create them when you make a vfat filesystem with mkfs.vfat -n labelname, and you can add them to fstab by just replacing the mount device with LABEL=labelname. Ubuntu's automounting seems to be broken for me, so I'm not sure if it works with that, but I guess it should. With ext2/ext3, the e2label program should let you do it without formatting first. Might be something similar available for vfat, but I haven't found it yet.</blockquote><div> Thanks Lee, But these partitions already exist, having been created already. So is there a way I can edit them? The LABEL=labelname sure won't work for automounted drives. I would like to know if there is something similar to e2label for vfat - sure would ;) So anyone?
