Help renaming a complete directory

Comment:
I am trying to rename an existing directory on an HP-Unix server. The disk was cleaned up of any data so there is nothing on it at all. I need to use that disk to install Oracle, but am looking to name the directory consistant with other Oracle installs.
Do I need to unmount the disk, rename it in the fstab file and then remount it? Or do I need to use SAM. I have root access, but I am by no means a unix sa. Everywhere I worked previously had full time unix sa that took care of things like that ... but to my surprise not here.
Will any of this require a reboot or have any effect on the other disks that are being utilized? Can all this be done without effecting users?

Hi,
check whether the dir to be renamed is a mount point or not (df -k), if it is not a mount point then #mv dir new-dir else #mv dir new-dir and then #sed 's/dir/new-dir/g' /etc/fstab would do
