Safe to rename Member Drives?

$

I'm running Drivepool on Server 2012 r2 and as I have a lot (more than 26 so far) of member drives, I'm not using drive letters for them.  I'm only using a drive letter for the pool drive and using volume names to track the drive locations in my server drive bays.  Unfortunately, I realized that I've misnamed a few of the member drives in the pool and I'd like to rename them before the problem cascades further. 

 

Questions:

 

1) How is Drivepool referencing the member drives if not by drive letter?  Is it using the member volume names?

 

2) If I change the member volume name will drivepool recover from this cleanly or will it loose track of the member?    Should I stop the drivepool service before trying this and hope that drivepool will find the member drive with a new volume name?

 

Hoping there's a simple solution to this that won't require me to completely rebuild the pool.
