NAME

6       e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3 filesystem
7

SYNOPSIS

9       e2label device [ new-label ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       e2label  will  display  or  change  the  filesystem  label  on the ext2
13       filesystem located on device.
14
15       If the optional argument new-label is not present, e2label will  simply
16       display the current filesystem label.
17
18       If  the  optional  argument new-label is present, then e2label will set
19       the filesystem label to be new-label.  Ext2 filesystem labels can be at
20       most  16  characters  long;  if new-label is longer than 16 characters,
21       e2label will truncate it and print a warning message.
22
23       It is also possible to set the filesystem label using the -L option  of
24       tune2fs(8).
