E2LABEL(8)
NAME
e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem
SYNOPSIS
e2label device [ new-label ]
DESCRIPTION
e2label will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2, ext3,
or ext4 filesystem located on device.
If the optional argument new-label is not present, e2label will simply
display the current filesystem label.
If the optional argument new-label is present, then e2label will set
the filesystem label to be new-label. Ext2 filesystem labels can be at
most 16 characters long; if new-label is longer than 16 characters,
e2label will truncate it and print a warning message.
It is also possible to set the filesystem label using the -L option of
tune2fs(8).
