/dev/disk/by-label/ unrecognizable charactors

started to use kdemod,when i check the Storage Volume widget to mount my usbdrive,it works,the problem is the name of the partitions are just meaningless charactors,some posts from the internet suggest i use the command hal-set-property,it doesn't work.after going through lots of information,i discovered it is a thing with HAL,udev or whatever that truely give me the headaches::::

now the thing is this,when i ls /dev/disk/by-label/ ,i got this:
[~]$ls /dev/disk/by-label/
\x18\xfe\x2f\x08q\x10\xb3\xc6\x08  \xb1\xbe\xb5ش\xc5\xc5\xcc  eport\x20them\x3f

WTF?

when i use mtools to detect my usbdrives,it says the usbdrive has no label.

so where does \x18\xfe\x2f\x08q\x10\xb3\xc6\x08  \xb1\xbe\xb5ش\xc5\xc5\xcc  eport\x20them\x3f  come from,how does udev put some BS in /dev/by-label??

Re: /dev/disk/by-label/ unrecognizable charactors

Looks like something gave the partion a bogus label, probably due to encoding problems.
