Do exists a way to detect a volume label of a disk?
I've found the way to do this using WMI (System.Managem ent) or winapi function. The second solution is principal non-portable in future, the first one require service WMI to work on client (for sure it's not a guarantee to be allways running). I do not want to include in my application logic, that will attempt to start that service before determining logical drive volume label.
If no way to read volume label - I'll try a combination of both methods, but the most question is why is this so? Does other platforms (not MS) do not operate (at informative level) with volume label?
Thanks

Just currious, what's the value of a volume label in windows?

>Just currious, what's the value of a volume label in windows?
Willy.
With "volume label" I mean the string that can be associated with a drive
letter (usually while formatting/setting up logical drive). Also you may
change the string with right click in Windows Explorer on drive and choose
rename :)
I do not want to link to this label, I do not want to build some logic
according to label - I just only want to read this and show to user. In
practice I need this for CD/DVD drive.
Any suggestion or explanation ?

This will not work if client stops or disabled the WMI service.

What exactly do you mean by that?
Volumes and disk labels aren't the same thing. Disk labels have no real use in windows (they aren't even required), they don't have to be unique, while volume labels have to.
Which kind "label" are you talking about here?
Willy.

For sure I mean disk label. No neeed to be unique and no need to be required. I just only desire to read it.
I did not understand exactly that this is platform depended, but I beleive it is usufull for users and hope found this in framework.

Answered off-line.
The way to get at the disk label is through PInvoke.

....the name for a drive (hard or removable) that shows up when, for example,
a USB flash drive is recognized by the system. I don't know if this shows
up somewhere in Linux.
Can this be set from Python? I guess it would be some MFC call in Windows
(I don't know anything about doing that), and some ??? call in Linux? Could
use both.
Thanks!
