How to use the command 'e2label' (with examples)

The ’e2label’ command is used to change the label on an ext2/ext3/ext4 filesystem. It allows you to assign a specific name or label to a partition, which can be useful for identification purposes.

Use case 1: Change the volume label on a specific ext partition

Code:

e2label /dev/sda1 "label_name"

Motivation: The motivation for using this example is to easily modify the label of a specific ext partition. By modifying the label, you can quickly identify the purpose or contents of the partition.

Explanation:

• e2label: This is the command itself.
• /dev/sda1: This is the path to the ext partition that you want to modify.
• "label_name": This is the new label that you want to assign to the partition.

Example output: If you run the command e2label /dev/sda1 "data_partition", it will change the label of the partition at /dev/sda1 to “data_partition”.
