Set LABEL don't work (alpha 9)
« on: July 06, 2010, 06:28:09 AM »
Here the code:

Code: [Select]
root@box:~# tune2fs -L micropen /dev/sdb1
tune2fs 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
tune2fs: Bad magic number in super-block while trying to open /dev/sdb1
Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock.

This problem occurs with all of my usb sticks.

Are they valid ext2/3/4? (unmounted, clean)

Which version were they created by?


Can't reproduce, I created an ext2 vol both in 2.11 and 3.0a9, and 3.0a9 tune2fs changed labels on both.

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

This is my operation:
-create a partition with cfdisk (0b fat32)
-format partition with mkfs.vfat
-and groped to change the label with tune2fs

I didn't try, but don't you need dosfstools-3 to label a fat partition?

See FAQ http://www.tinycorelinux.com/faq.html#pendrives

Code: [Select]
In order to use labels on other filesystems than ext2/3, see their respective extensions:

- for fat16/32 dosfstools-3.tcz contains the tool dosfslabel
- for JFS jfsutils.tcz contains the tool jfs_tune
- for XFS xfsprogs.tcz contains the tool xfs_admin

 :o yes, I have wrong all!
The command is "dosfslabel device [label]"
Sorry for my stupidity.
