E2LABEL(8) System Manager's Manual E2LABEL(8) NAME e2label - Change the label on an ext2/ext3/ext4 file system SYNOPSIS e2label device [ volume-label ] DESCRIPTION e2label will display or change the volume label on the ext2, ext3, or ext4 file system 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. For other file systems that sup- port online label manipulation and are mounted e2label will work as well, but it will not attempt to truncate the volume-label at all. It is also possible to set the volume label using the -L option of tune2fs(8). AUTHOR e2label was written by Theodore Ts'o (tytso@mit.edu). AVAILABILITY e2label is part of the e2fsprogs package and is available from http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net. SEE ALSO mke2fs(8), tune2fs(8) E2fsprogs version 1.47.3 July 2025 E2LABEL(8)
