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.

JB
