Re: User rw Permissions on New Hard Drive
Please don't oversnip. This subthread was about labels (aka LABELs).

That was my point. In order to generate an image like the ones
illustrated, which were from DVDs burned in my DVD recorder from
analogue input, I would have to know how to write a UDF filesystem.
So my answering "Yes" to "Have you ever used UDF ?" needed qualification.
In case you missed the point, the symlinks, mount and blkid commands
were included in the post only to demonstrate that the LABELs I was
observing in the UDF filesystems on my DVDs were usable in the same
way as those in extX and FAT filesystems. (If it walks like a duck …)

If I *had* experience of writing DVDs, then I might have known what
the set of identifiers were that Pascal was speaking about. As it is,
I guessed there'd be a mkudffs command, and googling its man page
revealed that there may be about four LABELish thingies. (I don't know
which might be quacking like a duck on my DVDs.) Perhaps I'll take a
look at these items some other time.

I've only burned CDs, and they've typically had iso9660 filesystems,
or else no filesystems at all (ie Red Book). The former have LABELs
which I set with mkisofs -V <LABEL>.
