Message-ID: <562570F9.40401@earthlink.net> Date: Mon, 19 Oct 2015 18:38:49 -0400 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Sender: util-linux-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Like in most man pages, examples that would explain ambiguous term meanings are absent. blkid doesn't say what the existing "drive" is. How does one find out? Can "drive" be a synonym for device name? The mtools man page is ambiguous by lack of adequate example as well. I wish to change the labels on /dev/sdc3, /dev/sdc5 and /dev/sdc6. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
