FM causes a usage message when 'Vol /dev/hda7' is run. Can anyone explain
what FM I'm doing wrong, or provide a better method to discover a volume
label?

I remember that $1 - is the first argument in bash scripts, but I don't
remember how $1 works in command line. And I think it will be a good idea to
try this:

===script======
#!/bin/bash
tune2fs -l $1 |
grep volume
===end script===
