Folks,
I recently purchased a 4TB external USB drive. I have purchased USB
drives in the past and have run dosfslabel to set the drive label. When
I tried this on F29 I get the following:
dosfslabel /dev/sdc2 NEW_LABEL
Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0.
I have 2 8TB drives which I labeled some time ago without a problem, but
now I get the same error when I try to print out the drive label
dosfslabel /dev/sdd2
Currently, only 1 or 2 FATs are supported, not 0.
The new drive shows up on the desktop as:
"Seagate Expansion Drive"
I tried the same thing on F30 with the same result.
Can someone tell me what's going on?
Paolo
Hi Paolo,
It is probably formatted in NTFS.
The best way I have found for setting drive labes is
gparted
# dnf install gparted
It is a graphical interface4 and gives you tons of information.
First thing I would do it check to see if it is NTFS.
The label is under the "partition" drop down.
And you can always wipe and create whatever partition type
you want.
HTH,
