Howto CHANGE the LABEL to an EXT3 (or ext2) PARTITION

We need to install e2fsprogs tools.
#apt-get install e2fsprogs

Now we execute e2label command. e.g:
#e2label /dev/sda6 openSuse111
This means /dev/sda6 partition label is changed to openSuse111.

NOTE: You can list all storage devices in your system executting:
$ls -lR /dev/disk
