Oh, okay, so "drive name" and "label" are really synonyms. ("Label"
would be the better term... by "drive name," I thought you might have
been referring to the lsusb device name. Besides, this is what would
appear in /dev/disk/by-label/, or be used in e.g. root=LABEL=home)I agree that encouraging the use of labels is a good idea; device nodes and UUIDs tend to look all the same after a while. But I'd like to make sure you don't have the assumption that, when formatting an existing filesystem, that the label will necessarily be different. With usb- creator, my original intention had been to format the partition as a quicker alternative to deleting all the files therein, in any event keeping the same label and filesystem type. -- USB Creator does not warn or ask user to confirm before formatting disks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/443330 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
