Making volume labels

Monday, May 12th, 2008 Comments Off

I always forget how to make a volume label. Here is a page that rounds up various methods for different filesystems:

www.debuntu.org/device-partition-labeling

The part on labeling FAT filesystems is not quite right. It works, but there is a better way. First make sure you have the debian package “mtools” installed:

To see if there is a label already there:
sudo mlabel -i /dev/device -s ::

To write a new label:
sudo mlabel -i /dev/device ::newlabel

In the place of “/dev/device” you should use something like “/dev/sdd1″.

 

New theme - Insomniac

Insomniac is a dark background theme, nice if you are tired of the usual white background themes. I haven’t made any changes to the theme code, so there might be parts that do not work. Out of the box it renders nicely though.

All new for November

Check out the news here: http://lyceum.ibiblio.org/2007/10/11/lyceum-10/.

It turns out Lyceum was not dead. Huh.

Of course the Post Levels plugin still does not work, which is a huge bummer.
