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).
