if that partition has an ext2/ext3 fs on it, you can use e2label
| Code: | $ man e2label
E2LABEL(8) E2LABEL(8)
NAME
e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3 filesystem
SYNOPSIS
e2label device [ new-label ]
DESCRIPTION
e2label will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2 filesystem located on device.
If the optional argument new-label is not present, e2label will simply display the current filesystem label.
If the optional argument new-label is present, then e2label will set the filesystem label to be new-label. Ext2 filesystem labels can be at most 16 characters long; if new-label is longer than 16
characters, e2label will truncate it and print a warning message.
It is also possible to set the filesystem label using the -L option of tune2fs(8).
AUTHOR
e2label was written by Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu).

I'm sure other filesystems have similar tools

in that case, use reiserfstune
| Code: | $ man reiserfstune
...
-l | --label LABEL
Set the volume label of the filesystem. LABEL can be at most 16 characters long; if it is longer than 16 characters, reiserfstune will truncate it.
