I'm having no luck figuring out why

alias Vol='tune2fs -l $1 | grep volume'

I'm doing wrong, or provide a better method to discover a volume label?

That works fine here

It gets me exactly what I want from the command line, but fails as an alias.

- I'd be curious to know more about /dev/hda7

Leave off the grep filter? When I want to know if there is a volume label
set, I run tune2fs -l on the appropriate partition. Without a grep or less
filter, the only part of its output that I want scrolls offscreen before I
can see it.
