Makedisk.cfg setting to label the exFAT partition

Hi,
There appears to be a setting in the makedisk.cfg file to specify the name for the Fat32 partition (cdlabel=), but is there a setting that can change the default exFAT partition name from the default name "Data"?
Thanks,
Jay

is it multi-partition option, that is the data partition.. you can change the label in windows.

Yep, I was hoping to avoid the additional steps that requires (and potentially having people forget to do that). So nothing built in then?

no, not for that partition, why would you want it something other than data (where the images would be stored) ?

the next version has a datalabel option that can be used.

Awesome, thanks so much! Our use case is that we have some automated scripts that use the volume label to find where the backup is stored. Previously we'd use the cdlabel to make that partition that correct name, but now we have files (both backups and other) that are large enough to require the exfat filesystem and need to be on the same partition.
