Rename a partition?
 

Hi,
I've created this /spare parttion at the time Installed RH AS 3.0 server and now I need that unallocated /spare partition. How would I go about doing so? Or what's the best practice??

Please help!!

Thanks,
JB

What do you need it for?

Ok...Guys & Gals out there.

This is how you do it:

1. As root, change dir to "/" example: cd /
2. mkdir /new_name
3. umount the partition that you no longer wanted to use
4. modify your fstab - example: vi /etc/fstab - modify the mount not the label. **best practice, make a copy of our fstab first **
5. mount your new partition example: mount -a

That's how easy it is.
