How do I label (or name) a disk? I can find all kinds of ways to label a partition, but I can find nothing on a label that I can set that applies to the entire physical disk.

I also need to read/write with software, python's (using pyudev maybe?) preferred.

thx, tom.c

    There is no single disk scheme, though most systems use partition tables, there are multiple choices of tables that can exist. Most labelling is done at partition level, not device (disk) level so have you considered what you're asking, as to me it makes little sense (given a mount/file-system can cross multiple drives thus a single drive having a label makes no sense at all; as device/drive isn't the usual division; not since 1970s anyway) – guiverc Oct 10 '23 at 01:01
