NTFSLABEL(8) NTFSLABEL(8) NAME ntfslabel - display/change the label on an ntfs file system SYNOPSIS ntfslabel [options] device [new-label] DESCRIPTION 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 sim- ply 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 mes- sage. It is also possible to set the file system label using the -L option of mkntfs(8) during creation of the file system. OPTIONS 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.
