How to Label Ext4 Filesystem

I have a 2TB drive, when connecting to my Fedora workstation, it’s mounted using the UUID of the partition as the following: # mount | grep sde1 /dev/sde1 on /run/media/kenno/f59ffb93-5a92-4af9-a9b5-19ca3bb8aa37 type ext4 (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,seclabel,uhelper=udisks2) I think it’ll look nicer if it’s mounted with a shorter name, e.g. ‘Podcast’. The filesystem for this drive is ext4. To create a label on the ext4 filesystem, we can use a program called e2label.
