Edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ and add a rule like the following:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="volume.uuid" string="XXXX"> <merge key="volume.label" type="string">my_device</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> In a file called for instance "mydevice.fdi". Replace "my_device" by the name you want to give to the device, and replace "XXXX" by the corresponding uuid of your device. To obtain the uudi, look at ls /dev/disk/by-uuid/ -l with the device plugged and with the device unplugged, so that you can see which name is assigned to it. After that restart hal.
