e2label(8) -- Linux man page
NAME
e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3 filesystem
SYNOPSIS
e2label
device
[
new-label
]
DESCRIPTION
e2label
will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2 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).
