VL - Volume Label

Summary

VL allows you to create, edit and delete the volume labels of disks.

Icon

Command Line Format

Usage: VL <Drive Spec> "Volume Label"
Note : If the drive and/or volume label are not given on the command line, you will be prompted for them.

Description

VL allows you to create, edit and delete the volume labels of disks. Although some file systems such as HPFS allow long file names of up to 254 characters, you are still restricted to eleven character upper case volume labels. You may enter a volume label in lower case - however, OS/2 will convert it upper case.

Pressing Enter will attempt to set the volume label to the text in the edit field. Press Escape to leave the volume label as is. The Delete key will remove the current volume label. Totally blank volume labels (all spaces) are not allowed by OS/2. In this event, OS/2 will delete the current volume label.

Examples

VL D:
This will display the current volume label of drive D: and prompt you to enter a new one.
VL C: "System Disk"
VL will set the volume label of drive C: to "SYSTEM DISK".
