Title: I changed partition label and i used this without reboot... safe or dangerous?
Post by: newbie_ on September 26, 2009, 05:28:06 PM

I used the commands

Code: [Select]

sudo umount /dev/sda5
and then

Code: [Select]

sudo e2labl /dev/sda5 data
for change a partition label on my HD.
Then i mounted and used this partition without reboot (the label changed only after a reboot), is this safe or dangerous? i have very important data on this partition... thank you.
