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).
