[Windows] Feature Request: Add volume label data to psutil.disk_partitions()

[MrPippin66]

Summary

• OS: Windows
• Type: core

Description: Enhance psutil.disk_partitions() to include the device label.

For Windows, the volume that contains a filesystem also contains a filesystem label.

This isn't mandatory, but it's used in Windows to help differentiate drives if drive names can't be statically associated with a known dataset.

For windows volumes, the label can be queried in powershell via "Get-Volume".

Example:

--

PS C:> get-volume

DriveLetter FriendlyName FileSystemType DriveType HealthStatus OperationalStatus SizeRemaining Size

---

C Windows NTFS Fixed Healthy OK 167.35 GB 237.23 GB

--

The specific usage benefit for windows is if you use a standard labeling format to differentiate the use of the volume on systems with multiple volumes.

Examples:

--

tablespace
tempspace
dblog
dbarchive

<etc.>

--

Tools built on top of "psutil" can then leverage this extra data to narrow the scope of querying or monitoring instead of having to keep mapping of drive volume letters, which may vary from system to system for reasons specific to their environment or vendor requirements.

@giampaolo Is this still a candidate?
