Hi guys, I am currently running a Dell Mini 10v setup to triple boot OSX 10.6, Windows 7 and UNR 9.10. Everything is working fine, however I'd like to change the volume label in UNR 9.10 to something more meaningful when at the Chameleon boot loader.

I've done some reading on the Ubuntu forums, and a few people have mentioned using e2label to re-label the volume, however I wanted to be sure what implications this would have, if any in terms of triple booting still.

Cheers for any help.

Welcome.

OSX and Windows 7 won't care about the filesystem label on the Ubuntu system partition. Ubuntu won't care either, unless you've gone out of your way to make it care. I dunno about Chameleon.

Careful. I've posted about my experience elsewhere in these forums. I used the disk utility in UNR 9.10 to rename the volume label of my Linux partition to "Ubuntu," and it totally wiped my MBR and left me with a completely unbootable system. I was able to fix it, but it was involved. A simple rename should not have done that, and maybe e2label won't; however, I wouldn't risk it. Chameleon doesn't use the volume label anyway--just displays "Linux." Not worth it IMO.

Thanks for the reply minimalpc - I figured it probably wasn't worth it, as renaming with e2label didn't change the volume label for Chameleon - I guess I'm just being a tad perfectionist

Thanks once again.
