I know that a filesystem in unix just exists wherever it exists (i.e. it's 'identity' is its mountpoint), but I find it extremely handy with ext* and FAT filesystems to be able to give every volume its own name. I was just living with not being able to do this on OpenBSD, just discovered dumpfs(8) and noticed a "volname" property snuck in at the end. It doesn't seem like newfs(8) or tunefs(8) let me set this at all, but (and you may find this vain) is there any secret tool that lets me edit these other properties, or an explanation of why they aren't exposed at least?
