I am attempting to rename an HFS+ partition for a friend to use. After formatting, the volume appears as "untitled". Gparted and Nemo cannot seem to relabel it due to their own limitations for dealing with HFS.
I can read/write normally, but currently cannot edit the GPT label, which is what I want to do. How can I do this?
