How do I rename an existing file system?
I am running Solaris 9 with two 20gig mirrored hard drives. I need to rename an existing file system. I want to rename export/home to /export. How can I do this? I need step by step instructions. See my current partiton table below.
Current partition table (original):
Total disk cylinders available: 39533 + 2 (reserved cylinders)
Part Tag Flag Cylinders Size Blocks
0 root wm 0 - 8322 4.00GB (8323/0/0) 8389584
1 swap wu 8323 - 10403 1.00GB (2081/0/0) 2097648
2 backup wm 0 - 39532 19.00GB (39533/0/0) 39849264
3 usr wm 10404 - 20562 4.88GB (10159/0/0) 10240272
4 var wm 20563 - 32135 5.56GB (11573/0/0) 11665584
5 home wm 32136 - 39490 3.54GB (7355/0/0) 7413840
6 unassigned wm 39491 - 39532 20.67MB (42/0/0) 42336
7 unassigned wm 0 0 (0/0/0) 0

Btw, /export/home is the default directory for a number of applications, so I suggest, making and keeping a "home" folder under your newly mounted /export filesystem for just in case.
