I have four partitions on three external disk drives. They show up in my

I would like to have them show up with a more meaningful name, such as:
Public
This seems like a problem with a simple solution but the articles I've
found so far go into theoretical kernel jargon, about 99% of which I
don't understand. Can anyone point me to an easily understandable
procedure for naming a volume? I'd appreciate any assistance.
You can set the volume id when you create the volume initially with the
mke2fs program using the -L option (this is for ext2/3 filesystems,
other file systems also have their options.)
If the filesystem is already created, and you don't want to destroy it
and all of the data on it, just use the tune2fs program, again with the
-L option.
Hope this helps,
