6 ntfslabel - display/change the label on an NTFS file system
9 ntfslabel [options] device [new-label]
12 ntfslabel will display or change the file system label on the ntfs file
13 system located on device.
15 If the optional argument new-label is not present, ntfslabel will sim‐
16 ply display the current file system label.
18 If the optional argument new-label is present, then ntfslabel will set
19 the file system label to be new-label. NTFS file system labels can be
20 at most 128 Unicode characters long; if new-label is longer than 128
21 Unicode characters, ntfslabel will truncate it and print a warning mes‐
24 It is also possible to set the file system label using the -L option of
25 mkntfs(8) during creation of the file system.
28 Below is a summary of all the options that ntfslabel accepts. Nearly
29 all options have two equivalent names. The short name is preceded by -
30 and the long name is preceded by --. Any single letter options, that
31 don't take an argument, can be combined into a single command, e.g.
32 -fv is equivalent to -f -v. Long named options can be abbreviated to
33 any unique prefix of their name.
36 This will override some sensible defaults, such as not working
37 with a mounted volume. Use this option with caution.
