It's simple I'm sure but I'm missing it. You should be able to use e2label (or "tune2fs -L" as I do) on the /dev/data/data1 device to set the filesystem label. That's the logical volume that the operating system needs to mount. # tune2fs -L mylabel /dev/data/data1 should do what you need. I haven't done this with ext4, but I have used LVM with ext2, ext3 and labels in this fashion. -- Manuel A.
