How do I change the name Ubuntu gives my phone?

Question

When I mount my android phone (HTC Desire, running Froyo) it shows up in the files system mounted in the /media/ directory. It used to come up as AEA9-A57F (or something similar). However now it comes up as "Ex\f24 " (yes that's a line feed character). Which is a little inconvenient as a path, as it means I can't navigate there in the terminal among other things.

How can I change the name given to the drive?

Thanks heaps :D

Answer 1

I would go and say that you should reformat the drive, but since this is a phone, that's probably not a safe option. This guide in Ubuntu should work, but before you try, back up and make sure you have some sort of Plan B if the thing accidentally formats your phone.
