System Administration Commands                      ntfslabel(1M)



NAME
     ntfslabel - display or change the label on an NTFS file sys-
     tem

SYNOPSIS
     ntfslabel [options] device [new_label]


DESCRIPTION
     The ntfslabel utility displays or changes  the  file  system
     label  on  the  NTFS  file  system  located  on  device (see
     Synopsis).


     If the optional argument new_label is not present, ntfslabel
     displays the current file system label.


     If the optional argument  new_label  is  present,  ntfslabel
     sets 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
     truncates it and displays a warning message.


     It is also possible to set the file system label  using  the
     -L option of mkntfs(1M) during creation of the file system.

OPTIONS
     Supported options are listed below. Most options  have  both
     single-letter  and  full-name  forms. Multiple single-letter
     options that do not take an argument can  be  combined.  For
     example,  -fv is the equivalent of -f -v. A full-name option
     can be abbreviated to a unique prefix of its name.

     -f, --force

         Overrides 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.


     -n, --no-action

         Do not actually write a new label to disk.
