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. The exact command is e2label device [ volume-label ] according to the man page....

When I plugged in an external drive to my laptop, the drive was displayed as a string consits random letters and numbers. Here is an example: ❯❯❯ df -Th | grep sdb /dev/sdb1 xfs 481M 26M 456M 6% /run/media/kenno/5428b182-c92e-466b-89d2-b5b31b80ba48 Though the drive worked perfectly fine, I think it’s ugly, and I wanted to properly give it a good name. Let’s call it externo. But how to do this? You may not believe it, I forgot how to do this....
