Hello list, I am searching for an entry, where a disk label is stored.
Problem: Some time ago I formatted a sd-card and labelled it with the name "Debian Inst". In the meantime, I formatted this sd-card several times and deleted the label. But whenever I put the card in, it is seen as "Debian Inst" in KDE4 (I mean the hardware manager in the task bar). I tried also mlabel to make sure, the label is no more stored on the device, but it did not work. See: root@protheus7:~# mlabel -s /dev/sdb1 Mtools version 4.0.12, dated November 3rd, 2009 Usage: mlabel [-vscVn] [-N serial] drive: root@protheus7:~# Maybe it is a bug? So I checked with gparted, and there is sure no label existent. I also tried the following command: echo -n " "|dd bs=1 seek=71 count=11 of=/dev/sdb1;echo -n "$NAME"|dd bs=1 seek=71 count=11 of=/dev/sdb1 But I got no success, too. IMO the label is stored somewhere else and maybe bound to the hardware, i.e. the UUID or something. I hope, someone might know more, I will be happy if so.
