Nautilus currently does not support renaming partitions, this bug proposes to 
change this. I completely agree.
Does this mean these packages will ship with the distro?:
ntfsprogs
jfsutils
reiserfsprogs
xfsprogs

If palimpsest (Disk Utility in Karmic) or gparted (GNOME Partition
Editor) can re-label an unmounted disk, why not have nautilus do the
same thing (i.e. call on the same command line programs that palimpsest
and gparted use) to re-label disks?

I have a concern though. I have noticed is that you must *unmount* a
disk before renaming in. In my (mac/win) experience you can rename a
disk as is, in a mounted/unmounted state (in the finder/explorer). If
this is a technical limitation, I think the label change can be held on
to until the user unmounts the disk or shuts down the system.

If someone can explain why Mac/Win users can rename a disk while mounted
but we have to unmount to rename, please let me know.
