Look I don't want to be difficult. But this is a Fedora list and the command mlabel that you are using does not exist in Fedora 14. So your information about changing usb drive labels using mlabel -i is useless to Fedora users.
Let;s be clear here, since Tom, Carroll, mike, and Howard seem to have missed Aaron's point:
Yes, mlabel is a part of Fedora.
But, the version of mlabel that Fedora provides does *not* support the -i flag that the posted solution says to use. Perhaps the -i flag is an Ubuntu only extension to their version of mlabel?
My Fedora 14 installation (a new install, not an upgrade) has mtools-4.0.13-2.fc14.i686, and its mlabel command definitely _does_ support the "-i" option.

The4 mystery is getting deeper.. I have the same mtools installed and the mlabel which the rpm -qf reports comes from that rpm does not have a -i option. Just for laughs I brought up my Live Ubuntu version 10.10 and the mlabel in that distribution also does not have a -i option.
You need to look at `man mtools` and read the section, "Common features of all mtools commands." That section has very detailed information about how drive letters, long file names, case sensitivity, etc., are handled.
