Rename an USB device

Post by Ruben13 »

I have a few USB HDD's, split up and named to my taste with all options possible in the Gnome Disk utillity. I formatted a few of them ext4 instead of exFAT. In Double Commander - my std. file manager - I don't see those names, only the type/serial/partition number from that disk and in some other software too.
Can this be altered and how?
I use the latest version of Mint
Thanks :D

If you connect them but ensure they are dismounted,
Go to GParted and you can should be able to rename them easily in there.
Right click the drive/partition and select 'rename'.
