e2label(8)

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).
