Renaming SD cards

[andyhamer]

Is there a way to do this?, for example Card 1: Games/Emulators Card 2: Programs/Media, i use the SD Card Mass Storage to transfer files & the cards currently display as: /media/mmcbik1p1 & /mediammcbik0p1 & i am always forgetting which card has which files etc..


Thanks.

If you have an SD Card reader, it may be quickest to do this in whatever operating system you use on your main computer. (I'm unsure if this can be done with the Pandora itself in Mass Storage mode - I'll have to defer that to someone else.)


I'm pretty sure that it can be done in GParted on the Pandora, too, but having not done so myself, I don't know for certain.

I always rename my cards on my sd card reader on my imac.

Use gparted and change the display label.

Again, Gparted.


However, sometimes I had to unmount the card first, through gparted or command line.


I also think I might have had problems with the pandora directory and it's apps making unmounting impossible within gparted. I think on one occasion when I was having problems I even renames the pandora directory to something else temporarily, rebooted, and then carried on.


Maybe someone can add some info here? Can the pnd directory system for detecting apps also cause some issues with card operations via gparted?
