linux and freedom

In my current ubuntu machine suddenly music stops playing after a reboot, adn I figured out that it is the issue of my library, My music library was on a NTFS drivewith label NEW LABEL, and there was another drive on my system with the same label , so whenver I rebooted ubuntu append one of the drive (randomly) with _so they would be mounted on

• /media/NEW VOLUME
• /media/NEW VOLUME_

if I am lucky then my music collection directory is mounted without _ but nobody can be lucky forever not certainly me, so with help of IRC guys i figured out a way to counter this, just install the program ntfsprogs

• sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs

it'll come up with a program called ntfslabel, now type ntfslabel on console to check response, if, it is installed , it's help would appear, otherwise a messsage saying, command not found or program not installed will appear, ,
Now type this on command line,
unmount all your ntfs drives,(I hope u know how to do it)

• sudo umount <drive directory>

after unmounting your drives type this on console,

• sudo ntfslabel -f /dev/sda5 <newlabel>

in your case /dev/sda5 is the drive you want to rename,and new label is any valid string, I supplied books.

• sudo ntfslabel -f /devsda5 books

use with caution since we are using -f flag so it'll forced to do it, but this gets the work done.
