NAME
e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3/ext4 file system
SYNOPSIS
e2label
device
[
volume-label
]
DESCRIPTION
e2label
will display or change the volume label on the ext2, ext3, or ext4
file system located on
device.
If the optional argument
volume-label
is not present,
e2label
will simply display the current volume label.
If the optional argument
volume-label
is present, then
e2label
will set the volume label to be
volume-label.
Ext2 volume labels can be at most 16 characters long; if
volume-label
is longer than 16 characters,
e2label
will truncate it and print a warning message. For other file systems that
support online label manipulation and are mounted
e2label
will work as well, but it will not attempt to truncate the
volume-label
at all.
It is also possible to set the volume label using the
-L
option of
tune2fs(8).
