DESCRIPTION

      e2label will display or change the filesystem label on the ext2 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).

AVAILABILITY

      e2label is part of the e2fsprogs package and is available from http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net.
