Interesting - I am running Fedora 14 - a couple of commands in a
terminal are reproduced here:
[mike at home1 ~]$ uname -r
2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686.PAE

[mike at home1 ~]$ man mlabel

gives:

mlabel(1)                                                            mlabel(1)

Name
       mlabel - make an MSDOS volume label

Note of warning
       This  manpage  has  been  automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
       documentation, and may not be entirely accurate or complete.   See  the
       end of this man page for details.

Description
       The mlabel command adds a volume label to a disk. Its syntax is:
       mlabel [-vcsn] [-N serial] drive:[new_label]

       Mlabel  displays  the current volume label, if present. If new_label is
       not given, and if neither the c nor the s options are set,  it  prompts
       the  user  for a new volume label.  To delete an existing volume label,
       press return at the prompt.

       Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MS-DOS volume label.  If  an
       invalid  label is specified, mlabel changes the label (and displays the
       new label if the verbose mode is set). Mlabel returns 0 on success or 1
       on failure.

plus more on succeeding pages!
