VFAT Volume Labels

[joeny at softhome.net]

Hi all, 

I have FAT32 partitions on my drive and upon adding the appropriate
lines to fstab, I was able to successfully mount the partitions. 

Now under Gnome, double-clicking on the desktop Computer icon, the
partitions shows up as the following: 

10G Hard Drive
20G Hard Drive
9.5G Hard Drive 

Mounting them resulted to: 

10G Hard Drive: 10G Media
20G Hard Drive: 20G Media
9.5G Hard Drive: 9.5G Media 

Wasn't it supposed to display the drive's volume labels after the
colons? The labels are properly set under Windows 98SE. 

On my computer at home, I get something like '??ty??_?K?' as the
volume label on one of my FAT32 partition? But if I removed the label
(LABEL.EXE), I get NO NAME. Any suggestions on how to fix this? 

Thanks!
