How to fix df: cannot statvfs error

I have a Sun Sparc machine with Solaris 9 on it. I changed one file system (also mount point) name from /home to /u01. Then I updated /etc/vfstab. After that, I did df -k, system told me that df: cannot statvfs /home: No such file or directory/.

Please tell me how and where to fix this error? Thanks.

Mount

Did you unmount the file system first?

If you did unmount it first, and then remount afterwards, chances are that the automounter is attempting to use /home. You'll need to make sure that if ANY of the users in /etc/passwd have a home directory under /home that you create the directory, or at least that /home exists and the home directories are being automounted form wherever you move them to.
