[PATCH] Documentation

[Sterling Archer]

From: Sterling Archer <wwqree...@gmail.com>

Very minor, but interchanged usage of "partition label" and "volume label" can confuse the meaning.

Hope I got the meaning correct with this patch.

Thanks for pointing this out!

I agree, things are fairly inconsistent here. "Partition label" is
definitely not right. But I think the correct term is actually "volume
label", see https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man8/fatlabel.8.html,
but also the UEFI spec (). In some places, we already use that.

BTW, your email client unfortunately wrapped things around. Use a
different setting or git send-email if possible. Small patches can be
manually fixed up, but this would not work well for larger ones.

Thanks!
Jan
