How do you read the NTFS $Volume file?

How do you read the $Volume file?  Is there a tool such as a Hex editor required, etc?

We're running Windows 2003 Standard Server. The server is attached to an HP SANS.  We have 22 volumes.  I'm trying to determine which volume this error applies to by mapping the Guid to the volume name.

\?\Volume{627673ea-2d99-11e5-a486-001635c41328} I've learned this is the Volume Guid, and the $Volume metadata file should reveal the Volume label i.e. Volume 7 from this link.
