.TH E2LABEL 8 "February 2023" "E2fsprogs version 1.47.0"
.SH NAME
e2label \- Change the label on an ext2/ext3/ext4 file system
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B e2label
.I device
[
.I volume-label
]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B e2label
will display or change the volume label on the ext2, ext3, or ext4
file system located on
.I device.
.PP
If the optional argument
.I volume-label
is not present,
.B e2label
will simply display the current volume label.
.PP
If the optional argument
.I volume-label
is present, then
.B e2label
will set the volume label to be
.IR volume-label .
Ext2 volume labels can be at most 16 characters long; if
.I volume-label
is longer than 16 characters,
.B e2label
will truncate it and print a warning message. For other file systems that
support online label manipulation and are mounted
.B e2label
will work as well, but it will not attempt to truncate the
.I volume-label
at all.
.PP
It is also possible to set the volume label using the
.B \-L
option of
.BR tune2fs (8).
