renamefset
renamefset(8) System Manager's Manual renamefset(8)
NAME
renamefset - Rename an existing AdvFS fileset
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/renamefset domain oldfileset newfileset
OPERANDS
Specifies the name of an existing AdvFS file domain. Specifies the name of a fileset in the domain. Specifies the new name for the file-
set.
DESCRIPTION
The renamefset command assigns a new name to an existing fileset within an AdvFS file domain. Before renaming a fileset, unmount the file-
set and its clone fileset, if there is one.
After renaming a fileset, update the corresponding entries in the /etc/fstab file to reflect the name change.
RESTRICTIONS
Because clone filesets are read-only, they cannot be renamed.
You must be the root user to use this command.
Each fileset within a domain must have a unique name of up to 31 characters. All whitespace characters (tab, new line, space, and so
forth) and the / # : * ? characters are invalid for fileset names.
EXAMPLES
The following example changes the name of the credit_fs fileset in the accounts_dmn file domain to new_credit_fs: # renamefset accounts_dmn
credit_fs new_credit_fs
