I don't use Gnome so I can't say for sure, but if right clicking on
the icon does
not offer a rename option, then the way to do it probably is to use tune2fs.
Setting a label with tune2fs *allows* you to use the label in fstab, but it does
not *require* it.

I am afraid I have no ideas on this one as I mount and umount from the
command line.
