I have a few generic USB sticks lying around, and a few more SD/microSD chips that I use with openSUSE. Is there any way to label/ID them so they mount at unique points in /media, so I don’t blast one accidentally?
In mkfs.vfat there is a “-n volume-name” that looks promising, but I can’t find a way to set that after the mkfs.
TIA
hint: mount usbstick use yast->partition to name the partition of the usb. Can also be done using windows partition editing. Limit name to 11 chars and no spaces or punctuation!
You can also do it using the mlabel command from the mtools package. Assume the partition is sdb1 (CHECK!):
mlabel -i /dev/sdb1 ::
and it will prompt you.
