NAME

       e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem

SYNOPSIS

       e2label device [ volume-label ]

DESCRIPTION

       e2label will display or change the volume label on the ext2, ext3, or ext4 filesystem located on device.

       If  the  optional  argument  volume-label  is not present, e2label will simply display the current volume
       label.

       If the optional argument volume-label is present, then e2label will set the volume label  to  be  volume-
       label.   Ext2  volume  labels  can  be  at  most  16  characters  long; if volume-label is longer than 16
       characters, e2label will truncate it and print a warning message.

       It is also possible to set the volume label using the -L option of tune2fs(8).
