Using a LVM will also solve this issue.
Use a full disk drive instead of a single partition.
ie:
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/cciss/c1d0
VG Name vg02
PV Size 6.14 TB / not usable 888.50 KB
Allocatable yes
PE Size (KByte) 4096
Total PE 1609588
Free PE 1071988
Allocated PE 537600

lvrename
LVRENAME(8) System Manager's Manual LVRENAME(8)
NAME
lvrename - rename a logical volume
SYNOPSIS
lvrename [-A|--autobackup {y|n}] [-d|--debug] [-h|--help] [-t|--test] [-v|--verbose] [--version] [-f|--force] [--noudevsync] {OldLogi-
calVolume{Name|Path} NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path} | VolumeGroupName OldLogicalVolumeName NewLogicalVolumeName }
DESCRIPTION
lvrename renames an existing logical volume from OldLogicalVolume{Name|Path} to NewLogicalVolume{Name|Path}.
OPTIONS
See lvm(8) for common options.
--noudevsync
Disable udev synchronisation. The process will not wait for notification from udev. It will continue irrespective of any possible
udev processing in the background. You should only use this if udev is not running or has rules that ignore the devices LVM2 cre-
ates.
EXAMPLE
To rename lvold in volume group vg02 to lvnew:
lvrename /dev/vg02/lvold vg02/lvnew
An alternate syntax to rename this logical volume is:
lvrename vg02 lvold lvnew
