I was reading the article about the USB subsystem yesterday and the posts at the end reminded me that I wanted to change the label on my USB key.
Unless I mistaken, the proposed commands (mkdosfs and mke2fs) are also going to reformat the partition. I wonder how many users are going to wipe out their partition while trying to change their label.

Note that "tune2fs" can be used to change the label without formatting the disk.
