e2label − Change the label on an ext2 filesystem
e2label device [ new-label ]
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).
e2label was written by Andries Brouwer (aeb@cwi.nl).
e2label is part of the e2fsprogs package and is available for anonymous ftp from tsx-11.mit.edu in /pub/linux/packages/ext2fs.
