(How To) Renaming Partition Volume Label

OS : Ubuntu Linux

I have some trouble when i tried to rename the volume of my disk. after make some study on it, i've found the solution.

1. recognize the disk

sudo fdisk -l

the output should look like this

Disk /dev/sda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0xb003b003

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 6375 51200000 83 Linux
/dev/sda2 6385 11570 41649152+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda3 11570 18493 55608997 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda4 18494 19409 7357770 83 Linux
/dev/sda5 6385 11570 41649152 7 HPFS/NTFS

from here , i can recognize which part of my partition i'd like to rename. In my case, i'd like to change the name at

/dev/sda3 11570 18493 55608997 7 HPFS/NTFS

2. Create Directory

now i have to create a new directory inside /media with name partition2

sudo mkdir /media/partition2

3. Edit /etc/fstab

better for us to play safe by creating a backup for the file fstab at any directory. In this case , i choose to place it at the same directory as current fstab file.

cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old

ps : cp command is "copy" task

open with any text editor, for example gedit.

sudo gedit /etc/fstab

you should see something like this

proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# Entry for /dev/sda1 :
UUID=4b5408bd-8826-400b-9456-f58802583f27 / ext4 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0
/dev/sda5 /media/New\040Volume ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0


In this case, i am going to rename a partition from /dev/sda3, so i add this line

/dev/sda3 /media/partition2 ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0

ps : if it is already exist, modify the code. dont worry , you have create the backup.

4. remount the device

sudo mount -a

there you go...you have finish with your task :D

(How To) sending mail using alpine

Sorry for the late post. I've been busy before this. So , as what i told you before the next post is about to send email using alpine the terminal based application. i'd like to remind you, that this application is very useful for the person who love to feel how the old time people used to send email, and it is especially used for an admin of a server, who dont even use gui in their server. what they see in their screen is a group of character, combination of character to perform pic. for whoever dont like it, and rather like to use browser , no complain about this i hope.

so..... we can start it now.

open terminal and type "alpine" to start the application

type in your password to get the inbox ready.

now choose "COMPOSE MESSAGE" by pressing "C" without quotes.

type

alpine >> password >> c

fulfill the form.

and to attach any file , we have to press "ctrl+J"

if you remind the file to be sent already, then just type in the address. For example i want to send a document called rinozeen.doc at Desktop.. then i'll just have to put

~/Desktop/rinozeen.doc

if you cant remember, no worry cause we can press "ctrl+tab" to find the folder.



then insert any comment and press "enter" (without quotes)

it should look like this



put some message in the body and press "ctrl+x" and press "y" then you are done ... :D
