Title: Set LABEL don't work (alpha 9)
Post by: vinnie 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.

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.
