EDIT FILE SYSTEM LABEL


As I mentioned earlier that in my next post I will discuss about How to edit FILE SYSTEM LABEL in UBUNTU.So here I am.Lets get started.So problem start when you see your file system having label 75 GB Filesystem or some other depending upon the size of your hard drive partitions or which may be your WINDOWS partitions.It look kinda bizarre.You might have thought of to give it name like MOVIES,STUFF or something else.
So here are steps you need to follow to make it work:

1.Before editing FILESYSTEM LABEL you need to UNMOUNT that drive only than you can rename it.So to UNMOUNT drive open terminal and type
  cd /media
  sudo umount <drivename>.
  The name that you have given in fstab file residing in /etc.

2.System->Administration->Disk Utility->partition you want to EDIT->EDIT FILESYSTEM LABEL.
   Then give it some name.You might have thought of.

3.After going through above steps you need to mount it again,so open terminal and type
  sudo mount -a.

  and you are done.
  You did it.
  Hurray!!!!
