I have a USB external hard drive for my backups which is formatted ext 3. It is currently named as '/media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459_ ' and mounted via fstab.
I've tried using e2label as follows;- sudo e2label /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459_ /media/backup e2label: Is a directory while trying to open /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459_ Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock. So I tried using rename as follows;- sudo rename /media/8eef3b99-c17b-4913-ae61-d34c7fd5d459_ /media/backup Number found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "/media/8" (Missing operator before 8?) Bareword found where operator expected at (eval 1) line 1, near "8eef3b99" (Missing operator before eef3b99?) syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "/media/8" How then can I rename it please?
