How is makefs -label option used?

[ahev]

I have seen it in make-memstick.sh script, makefs(8) man page tells it is an FFS-specific option, but how is it used?

 

[SirDice]

Have a look at glabel(8), there are several ways a label can be set (depends mostly on the filesystem and/or partitioning scheme).

I know it's not FreeBSD but the same applies:

It's used for making images for embedded systems as well as the example in the link above for the sparc.
