relabel partition after install
Hello all,

I was wondering if it is possible to relabeled Redaht 7.2 hard drive after they have been created and label? When I did an install I label "/dev/hda3" as "/home", but now I would like to change it into "/export". This is because I would like to use autofs of the home directory. Can this be done or do I have to backup all the home directory and reinstall redhat.

Thanks in advance
Smilie

I havent done this before, but my advise would be, do a backup of your home directories then use e2label to change the label( if its in ext2 filesystem ).

killerserv,

Thanks but my labels are Ext 3 format. But I tried it anywhere. For your information it did not work. I guess that I will have to reinstall Redhat 7.2. Thanks for the information? mI think it will be helpful one day.Smilie
