E2LABEL(8) System Manager's Manual E2LABEL(8)
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 sim-
ply 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, e2la-
bel will truncate it and print a warning message. For other file sys-
tems 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).
