Hi there,
I'm wondering how to display a disk label (why not edit it but I don't need that yet).
I found several commands on forums like disklabel and diskinfo but I can't find them on my system and don't know the package they belong to.
Can you help me?
Cheers

I've managed to bork a volume label on a disk that's shared out via GPFS. There has to be a fairly simple dd command to rewrite the blocks in question, but I can't seem to dig up the information necessary anywhere I look. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
