Title:
  won't warn neither prevent usage of « risky » characters in labels

Status in e2fsprogs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi,

  if naming or renaming an EXT volume,

  e2label lets you use any character, including / or * or $ ( and
  probably others, like accented letters é è à )

  I'd expect at least a warning if such are to be found in a label name.

  Or better, it should not be possible to use those in label names.

  Example :

  a@p:~$ sudo e2label /dev/sdb12 /Ti\$*
  a@p:~$

  a@p:~$ sudo e2label /dev/sdb12
  /Ti$*
  a@p:~$

  a@p:~$ lsblk -fe7 | grep sdb12
  └─sdb12   ext4              1.0   /Ti$*

  a@p:~$
