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
R 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
R 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.
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
R -- .
Any single letter options, that don't take an argument, can be combined into a
single command, e.g.
-fv
is equivalent to
R -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
R ntfslabel .
