Rename File Systems in AIX

[Paul van Genderen]

Hi all,

I'm busy to create a template system setup, but I'm getting stucked on
the name of the file systems. Can someone tell me if it is possible to
rename file systems is AIX?

Thanks - Paul

To rename the actual logical volume, run:

chlv -n newname currentname

The file system must be unmounted.

To rename the file system mount point, run:

chfs -m /newdir /currentdir
mkdir /newdir

If the file system is mounted, just unmount it and remount it with:
umount /currentdir
mount /newdir

The "mount point" of the file system is its "name". changing the mount
point will change its "name"
The other related name may be the logical volume name. This can be
changed regardless and independent of the file system name.
