I was sitting here considering how one names drives. I did it once but it was at least a year ago and my memory is bad (at it's best). And so I was going to google 'name filesystem' or something like that when that little voice inside my head cried out 'label'. So I opened a terminal and 'apropos label' and discovered that little voice inside my head can sometimes be right!
Anyways, there are a few options I could use. I still want to retain msdos properties so I can switch it between machines and..... wait! This is for my backup drive on a 64gig sd card. So I can make it a linux filesystem!
So then:
first make a partition on the device with cfdisk (ref linux fromscratch) then
mkfs.ext2 <device> -L<name>
Do I need to do anything else because of the size of the card?
Should I do a different filesystem type?
