Labeling a USB drive

2009-12-27 Thread Carmel
I have FreeBSD-7.2 installed. I also have several USB Flash drives that
I use. I was using the following to partition and format the drives.

# fdisk -I /dev/da4
# bsdlabel -w /dev/da4

Now, that appears to work correctly. I would also like to name the
drive. I cannot find any command that will allow me to do so. I can do
it in Windows; however, I then have a choice of only fat, fat32 or NTFS
for the disk.
