Hi,

ah ok :) I thought there is a way without the patch to change the label of unmounted
fs.

I am interested! If it is not to mutch work for you it would be great to have that
feature.
It's kind of strange that it is not possible to do that with the default btrfs
utilities, because it's such an elementary thing.

Thanks again for your help!


Regards,
Felix
