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).
