question on change of mount point
Hello Folks, had a basic question mount point and renaming it.
on AIX 5.3 box, I have a filesystem
Filesystem GB blocks Free %Used Mounted on
/dev/issclv01 1.00 0.50 50% /issc/doc

Now instead of /issc/doc, i want to rename it to /issc

is it as simple as chfs -m /issc /dev/issclv01 (would it have the previous data)
or do i need to backup remove the filesystem and create a brand new filesystem.

Thank You all.

1. umount /issc/doc

2. rmdir /issc/doc

3. edit stanza in /etc/filesytems (replace /issc/doc with /issc)

4. mount /issc

finish

but I'm sure this is possible with chfs too ^^
