Change Label of new device

1st Official Post

    Hey guys,


    i replaced my failing drive with a big new one.


    Now i mounted it, and want to add the shares.


    I know, OMV does not use the labels of drives for identification, but all my other drives have a label see screenshot.



    How can i add a label to my new drive like eg. "14tb Drive", so i can see it in the different GUI menues in the row Device?


    i found an old thread, where Agricola suggested to use a symlink. But i don't know, if this symlink will show up in the Device row?

    RE: Change label of disk
    Or you could do it this way:

    ln -s /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-f8814ed9-9a5c-4e1c-8830-426968c /srv/disk1

    Then you can use
    /srv/disk1/media
    /srv/disk1/appdata

    Thank you so much. :)


    cheers

    In the shell run this command:


    Code
    sudo e2label /dev/sdb1 new-label-name-here

    The device name (/dev/sdb) might or might not change between boots. You have to check what the correct device is and adapt the example as needed.


    Please note, that adding the label will not influence the mount point which is something like /srv/dev-disk-by- uuid-yyyyy-vvvvv.....

    Quote from Sandro_Rocha

    Does the mount point (/dev/sdx) not change with each reboot?

    It can change, but that wouldn't change the label on the disk because it is written to the disk, not supplied by the OS.
