Rename a mountpoint (forcibly)?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Is there a way to forcibly rename a mountpoint?  I can rename a
directory that contains a mountpoint, but even if I bind-mount the
underlying FS, I get EBUSY if I try to rename a mountpoint.  This is
annoying -- I want to replace the entire contents of my root partition
by moving the old contents away and moving replacements in, but the
mountpoints get in the way.

Yes, this is evil, but it seems like the kernel is unnecessarily
preventing my from shooting myself in the foot, and in this case the
shot-in-the-foot is actually the desired effect.
