When working in a Linux environment, especially in systems where managing multiple disks is a common task, simplicity and clarity are paramount. One way to achieve easy management and identification of filesystems is through the use of disk labels. Linux offers various tools for such purposes, and among them, e2label is specifically designed for handling labels on ext2, ext3, and ext4 filesystems. This tool allows users to change or view the label of a disk partition with ease. Disk labels offer a user-friendly name to filesystems and can be used instead of cryptic UUIDs or device names like /dev/sda1.
