Public bug reported: Hi,
if naming or renaming an EXT volume, e2label lets you use any character, including / or * or $ ( and probably others ) I'd expect at least a warning if such are to be found in a label name. Or better, it should not be possible to use those in label names. Example : a@p:~$ sudo e2label /dev/sdb12 /Ti\$* a@p:~$ a@p:~$ sudo e2label /dev/sdb12 /Ti$* a@p:~$ a@p:~$ lsblk -fe7 | grep sdb12 └─sdb12 ext4 1.0 /Ti$* f583e9b0-f1de-438f-8da8-c1e070407628 a@p:~$ coming from https://forum.ubuntu- fr.org/viewtopic.php?pid=22692892#p22692892 ( french ) ** Affects: e2fsprogs (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to e2fsprogs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2027979 Title: won't warn neither prevent usage of « risky » characters in labels Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi, if naming or renaming an EXT volume, e2label lets you use any character, including / or * or $ ( and probably others ) I'd expect at least a warning if such are to be found in a label name.
