The mlabel command adds a volume label to a disk. Its syntax is:
mlabel [-vcsn] [-N serial] drive:[new_label]
Mlabel displays the current volume label, if present. If new_label is not given, and if neither the c nor the s options are set, it prompts the user for a new volume label. To delete an existing volume label, press return at the prompt.
Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MS-DOS volume label. If an invalid label is specified, mlabel changes the label (and displays the new label if the verbose mode is set). Mlabel returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.
Mlabel supports the following options:
Tag | Description |
---|---|
c | |
Clears an existing label, without prompting the user | |
s | |
Shows the existing label, without prompting the user. | |
n | |
Assigns a new (random) serial number to the disk | |
N serial | |
