What file system is used on the drive?

If it's Ext3, there's the e2label command.  

If it's FAT, you have to assign a Windows-like drive letter, then use
the DOS/FAT drive labelling commands to label the drive.  Though, the
simplest solution, if you can plug it into a Windows box, is to do so,
and right-click and rename the drive.

It irks me, seeing how Gnome plays so heavily upon using the name of the
drive as a mount point, that we have to go through all these shenanigans
to rename a drive, when Windows users have it so easy.  Sure, make us
type in a root password to allow the change, but let us right-click on a
drive and rename it.
