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?
So Aaron is right, the posted solution is not useful to Fedora users.
I've just re-read Aaron's post and, yes, I didin't realize that he meant that "-i" doesn't exist.
It doesn't exist in Ubuntu either when you run "man mlabel" or "mlabel --help".
It does however work on both Fedora and Ubuntu to pass an mlabel command to a Linux device ("mlabel -i /dev/sdXY ...") as opposed to a DOS-like device (for example: "echo 'drive z: file="/dev/sdXY"' > ~/.mtoolsrc; mlabel -z f: ...").
