Can anyone point me to an easily understandable procedure to make the

will be sincerely appreciated.


Try Yast, System, Partitioner, and give them a label, and mount them by
label. That should fix it.


Did all that. According to the partitioner, the volume label is 'Float'
but when I look at properties, the volume label has not changed. I get
the feeling that I'm missing something really simple here. I just can't
figure out what it is.


Did you umount the device, and perhaps unplug and replug (assuming USB
external drives), then let hal remount. It should load to the mount
point /media/Float.
