e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3/ext4 file system
e2label device [
volume-label ]
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).
