File volume labels in Linux systems make it easier for you to navigate to your disk partition, which is indispensable for Linux systems to run.

Looking at the Linux file system volume label first let's see which file systems already have a volume label and which don't. You can use the blkid command to view your file system information. You need to run this command as root to see all the information about the file system.

Sudo blkid-c / dev/null

The information output in my netbook is like this.

/ dev/sda1: LABEL= "WINRE" UUID= "80AE-9D55" TYPE= "vfat" / dev/sda2: LABEL= "OS_Install" UUID= "E468676968673A06" TYPE= "ntfs" / dev/sda3: UUID= "012ff341-f854-4c4f-8bbd-bbc810121fe6" TYPE= "ext4" / dev/sda5: UUID= "ec0fe4d1-e21c-407d-8374-aa4b470519da" TYPE= "ext3" / dev/sda6: UUID= "ee275431-64b2-4f55-b958-4055147cdf4e" TYPE= "swap" / dev/sda7: UUID= "99feb5c5-99feb5c5-25a6" -6d466c0094ab "TYPE=" ext4 now I can also list a file system mounted on my current system with the lsblk command.

Lsblk

The output on my Linux Mint system is like this.

NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT sda 8:0 0 149.1G 0 disk |-sda1 8:1 03.9G 0 part |-sda2 8:2 039.1G 0 part |-sda3 8:3 09.3G 0 part / |-sda4 8:4 01K 0 part |-sda5 8:5 086G 0 part / home |-sda6 8:6 01.4G 0 part [SWAP] |-sda7 8:7 0 9.3G 0 part as you can see On the output information of blkid and lsblk commands Only my Windows partition has a volume subject, and browsing the file manager can see that each partition has a common name.

Need to edit linux file system label

Partition without volume label

Using e2label to edit the Linux file system volume label to view the output of the lsblk command, I can see that my Linux Mint is installed on the / dev/sda3 partition, my / home partition is on the / dev/sda5 partition, and my Xubuntu is installed on the / dev/sda7 partition. I run the e2label command as root to assign volume labels to these partitions.

Sudo e2label / dev/sda3 Mint

Sudo e2label / dev/sda5 Home

Sudo e2label / dev/sda7 Xubuntu

Now look at the output of the blkid command

Sudo blkid-c / dev/null / dev/sda1: LABEL= "WINRE" UUID= "80AE-9D55" TYPE= "vfat" / dev/sda2: LABEL= "OS_Install" UUID= "E468676968673A06" TYPE= "ntfs" / dev/sda3: UUID= "012ff341-f854-4c4f-8bbd-bbc810121fe6" TYPE= "ext4" LABEL= "Mint" / dev/sda5: UUID= "ec0fe4d1-e21c-407d-8374-aa4b470519da" TYPE= "ext3" LABEL= "Home" / dev/sda6: UUID= "ee275431-64b2-4f55-b958-4f55-b958" Swap "/ dev/sda7: UUID=" 99feb5c5-25a6-47a3-aa2c-6d466c0094ab "TYPE=" ext4 "LABEL=" Xubuntu "can see that the volume label has been added. Looking at the file manager, I can also see that my 10.0GB partition now shows the Xubuntu volume label.

Note that you can also use the e2label command to view individual partition volume labels, such as partition 5.

Sudo e2label / dev/sda5

Delete the volume label for partition 5

Sudo e2label / dev/sda5 ""
