  • 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) .
