ntfslabel − display/change the label on an NTFS file system
ntfslabel [options] device [new−label]
ntfslabel will display or change the file system label on the ntfs file system located on device.
If the optional argument new−label is not present, ntfslabel will simply display the current file system label.
If the optional argument new−label is present, then ntfslabel will set the file system label to be new−label. NTFS file system labels can be at most 128 Unicode characters long; if new−label is longer than 128 Unicode characters, ntfslabel will truncate it and print a warning message.
It is also possible to set the file system label using the −L option of mkntfs(8) during creation of the file system.
Below is a
summary of all the options that ntfslabel accepts.
Nearly all options have two equivalent names. The short name
is preceded by − and the long name is preceded
by −−. Any single letter options, that
don’t take an argument, can be combined into a single
command, e.g. −fv is equivalent to −f
−v. Long named options can be abbreviated to any
unique prefix of their name.
−f, −−force
This will override some sensible defaults, such as not working with a mounted volume. Use this option with caution.
−h, −−help
Show a list of options with a brief description of each one.
−n, −−no−action
Don’t actually write to disk.
−q, −−quiet
Reduce the amount of output to a minimum.
−v, −−verbose
Increase the amount of output that ntfslabel prints.
−V, −−version
Show the version number, copyright and license for ntfslabel.
