This isn't just a theoretical thing, lots of people don't label their
thumb drives.

Another issue is a lot of thumb drives have the same label. I bet there
are millions with the label "backup".


But there are tools on Linux to add a label to a filesystem; here is the first thing I do to a new usb stick:

    /sbin/dosfslabel /dev/sdb1 $my_name

    Very usefull when exchanging sticks.

All my sticks are labeled, and I labeled none of them.

They all just came factory formatted as fat and factory labeled with the producer's name. This is my EMTEC stick (at /media/EMTEC) , this my BASF stick (at /media/BASF)... useful enough, since I do not use to plug several sticks at the same time, and even less several of the same brand.
