I have a usb HD using reiserfs 3.6=20 I want to change the label of the disk, so when it's automounted, the=20 mounting point has some meaning such as "backup" instead of "usbdisk" fstab-sync seems to use the label of the disk to create a mounting point. mkfs.reiserfs -l label will overwrite the old data; is there a way to edit= =20 the old lable w/o reformating the disk, other than hexedit the disk?

I want to change the label of the disk, so when it's automounted, the mounting point has some meaning such as "backup" instead of "= ;usbdisk"

fstab-sync seems to use the label of the disk to create a mounting point.
mkfs.reiserfs -l label will overwrite the old data; is there a way to edit the old lable w/o reformating the disk, other than hexedit the disk?

Thanks,
