E2LABEL 8 "@E2FSPROGS_MONTH@ @E2FSPROGS_YEAR@" "E2fsprogs version @E2FSPROGS_VERSION@"
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).
