This is the sort of problem that makes people like me who really want to use linux tear our hair out.
I use disk labels to help me catagorize what is on the various cd-roms and dvd-roms lying around on my desk. But for the life of me I can't find out what the stupid cd-rom or dvd-rom is labeled after I've created it!!!!
I'm using KDE and Konqueror to view the contents of the disk. But I just need to find out what the label is, a command line utility or some such would be exellent, anything!!!! This is really frustrating me.

Thank you!
| Code: | | volname /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 |
Works very well. I had forgotten that it is a volume name that I was looking for. Using the word volume while searching for an answer I found it right away. Thank you for the help! |
