DiscussionThe label of a volume is nothing more than a short description that is displayed in tools such as Windows Explorer when you view the list of drives. A label can contain up to 32 characters. You can use a mix of alphanumeric and special characters. Also, labels do not have to be unique across volumes, but it defeats the purpose of having labels in the first place if you configure multiple volumes with the same label. And unlike setting drive letters, you can modify the label of a volume regardless of whether the volume is the system volume or has files that are locked. |
