Hi,

umount the filesystem.

Create the new directory bug
#mkdir /home/db/bug

#mount /dev/vg02/lvol2 /home/db/bug

Edit /etc/fstab and change the dir mount point from /home/db/db to /home/db/bug to mount it automatically during next reboot.

Yes, it is possible. Try this:

1) find out and get rid of all processes using this file system (lsof, fuser)
2) un mount the file system (umount)
3) Create the new mount_point (mkdir)
4) Mount the file system back to new mount_point.
5) Edit /etc/fstab (if needed this change permanently)

Hi Dario,

Try this:

1.- Umount the filesystem.
2.- Create the new directory.
3.- Change the /etc/fstab
4.- mount -a

Make sure no users are accessing /home/db/db. Then you would simply do ..
# cd /
# umount /home/db/db
# mkdir /home/db/bug
# vi /etc/fstab
====> change the entry appropriately
# mount -a
# bdf
====> check it
# rmdir /home/db/db

Hi Dario,

unmount the filesystem mounted at that point,

/home/db/db

Make the changes in /etc/fstab and then remount the filesystem after creating the mount dir if it does not exist,

mkdir /home/db/bug

mount -a

Hope this helps.
