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).

getvol(1M) System Administration Commands getvol(1M)NAME
getvol - verifies device accessibility
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/getvol -n [-l label] device
/usr/bin/getvol [-f | -F] [-ow] [-l label | -x label] device
DESCRIPTION
getvol verifies that the specified device is accessible and that a volume of the appropriate medium has been inserted. The command is
interactive and displays instructional prompts, describes errors, and shows required label information.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-n Runs the command in non-interactive mode. The volume is assumed to be inserted upon command invocation.
-l label Specifies that the label label must exist on the inserted volume (can be overridden by the -o option).
-f Formats the volume after insertion, using the format command defined for this device in the device table.
-F Formats the volume after insertion and places a file system on the device. Also uses the format command defined for this device
in the device table.
-o Allows the administrator to override a label check.
-w Allows administrator to write a new label on the device. User is prompted to supply the label text. This option is ineffective
if the -n option is enabled.
-x label Specifies that the label label must exist on the device. This option should be used in place of the -l option when the label
can only be verified by visual means. Use of the option causes a message to be displayed asking the administrator to visually
verify that the label is indeed label.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
device Specifies the device to be verified for accessibility.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 Command syntax was incorrect, invalid option was used, or an internal error occurred.
