Automatic disk labeling

First post ...
Here is a script for automatic labeling of previously unlabeled disks.
Other methods exist (format -f cmd_file), but I like this because it's all in one place.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#----------------------
# format_label
# Automatic labeling of previously unlabeled disks
# 2006.08.31 ken.wachtler
#----------------------
 
# Enter a list of disks, as format's banner would report them
Disks="

Hi kwachtler,
Thanks for sharing the code. I have just one suggestion, when you do post any code, please wrap that inside code tags. First put in [ code ], then your code, and then [ /code ]. Remove the spaces in the [] brackets though.
