[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi. *Parted* v. 3.2 claims *msdos disk labels do not support partition name*
.Commands executed in interactive *Parted*-shell:

(parted) mklabel msdos
(parted) mkpart primary ext4 0% 100%
(parted) name 1 USB
Error: msdos disk labels do not support partition name.

I then had to rely on *Gparted* v. 0.33  for creating a *partition name*:

$ blkid | grep sdc
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="USB" UUID="2b491b98-46e8-42fe-9e24-96e115532d99"
TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="2c168f1d-01"

Illustrated as well in the attachment.  Regards.
