Re: Volume names of partitions

Many file system formats support a name tag. Is there any way in Genode to read or write this "volume name"?

this does not work out of the box.

As far as I am aware, this information is not stored at the file system but in the partition table. Therefore, the most natural approach to obtain this information would be to enhance the 'part_blk' component to produce a 'Report' that contains the results of the partition-table parsing. The information of the report could then be routed via report_rom as a ROM module to your component.

As of now, there is no component for writing or modifying a partition table (i.e., for writing the volume name) available on Genode.
