Careful here. You are replying to people who are talking about PARTLABELs, which are labels for *partitions* and stored inside the GPT. You however are talking about *filesystem* labels, and e2label/tune2fs is the tool to mnanage that for the ext* filesystems. Each filesystem has its own tool for this, and the data lives inside the filesystem. Thanks, Andy -- https://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting
