Mode=XFS Menu: [XFS journaled File System]

Set LinuxMnt Volume Label

Display/Edit the standard 16-character label in the superblock (for mount)

    This will present a small dialog to display and/or edit the
    Linux specific label, with a maximum length of 16-characters
    and located in the SUPERBLOCK

    This Linux label is used (on Linux) to identify the filesystem
    when mounting, instead of a devicename like /dev/sda1 or the
    cryptic UUID

Reselect whole disk, FDISK

Unselect filesystem, reselect the same/first disk; enables Mode=FDISK menu

    This will UNSELECT the current object/filesystem, and reselect a
    whole physical disk, either the same disk as the partition was on,
    or the first disk present in other cases.

    This is a quick way to change to 'Mode=FDISK' and work on
    disk-level issues
