2.2.4. Moving a Mount Point


To change the directory in which a file system is mounted, use the following command:
mount --move old_directory new_directory

Example 2.8. Moving an Existing NFS Mount Point

Imagine that you have an NFS storage that contains user directories. Assuming that this storage is already mounted in /mnt/userdirs/, as root, you can move this mount point to /home by using the following command:
~]# mount --move /mnt/userdirs /home
To verify the mount point has been moved, list the content of both directories:
~]# ls /mnt/userdirs
~]# ls /home
