mountpoint name for a pendrive

Where does dolphin get mountpoint name for an inserted pendrive from? There is fat32 and no label.

It's under /run/username/something I think...

Udisks usually uses the UUID if it can't find a label. For FAT devices this is something like XXXX-XXXX.

It mounts it as "/run/media/<username>/openSUSE-13.1-DVD-x86_640091/". There was opensuse on this stick before, but I deleted all partitions and formatted the drive.

Can u use e2label to name it?

Did you create a new partition table on the stick before you reused it, or did you just delete the existing partitions and create new ones? You might have remnants of the earlier filesystem if you did the latter. Check with wipefs. e.g.

# wipefs /dev/sdb1

Don't worry, wipefs doesn't actually wipe a filesystem unless you pass additional flags, see man 8 wipefs for details.

e2label works with ext2 partitions. There is no label anyway:

# sudo mlabel -i /dev/sdc1
 Volume has no label
Enter the new volume label :
