Can a volume junction-path be renamed?
Applies to
ONTAP 9
Answer
Yes, the junction path to which a volume is mounted can be modified as follows:
1. Check the current junction path of the volume:
::> volume show -vserver <vserver name> -junction
Vserver Volume Language Active Junction Path Path Source
--------- ---------- ---------- ------- -------------- ---------------
nfs_vsvr nfsroot C.UTF-8 - / -
nfs_vsvr vol1 C.UTF-8 true /vol1 RW_volume
nfs_vsvr vol11 C.UTF-8 true /vol1/vol11 RW_volume
nfs_vsvr vol2 C.UTF-8 true /vol2 RW_volume
4 entries were displayed.
2. Un-mount the volume whose junction path you wish to modify, for example vol2:
::> volume unmount -vserver nfs_vsvr -volume vol2
3. Mount it to the desired junction-path name:
::> volume mount -vserver nfs_vsvr -volume vol2 -junction-path /vol0 -active true -policy-override false
4. Verify the volume junction path has been modified:
::> volume show -vserver <vserver name> -junction
Vserver Volume Language Active Junction Path Path Source
--------- ---------- ---------- ------- -------------- ---------------
nfs_vsvr nfsroot C.UTF-8 - / -
nfs_vsvr vol1 C.UTF-8 true /vol1 RW_volume
nfs_vsvr vol11 C.UTF-8 true /vol1/vol11 RW_volume
nfs_vsvr vol2 C.UTF-8 true /vol0 RW_volume
4 entries were displayed.

NFS client needs to unmount the old exported path and mount the new exported path.
