Rename a Partition

[sde]

I want to run my game server on it's own partition. a very small partition.

I have one /tmp that is 1 gb. I figure I can unmount it, then rename it, the remount it somewhere else.

How do i rename /tmp to halflife, then remount it?

# mv tmp halflife

or should i just do that?

/etc/fstab

change your /tmp entry to /steam_is_lame then 'mount -a'

that might work, i have never had to do that before though. its not like the server can be anymore down, right?

you rule.

That is part of it.

I believe what you want to do is rename /tmp to /halflife, and change your fstab from /tmp to /halflife.

Then remount like so:
umount /tmp
mount /halflife

Hope that helps,

You'll want to

unmount /tmp

mv tmp halflife

#edit fstab#
posible fstab entry
/dev/hda1 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 0
change /tmp to /halflife
/dev/hda1 /halflife ext3 defaults 0 0

mount /dev/hda1 /halflife

you will want to change /dev/hda1 to partition you need
