Hi everyone.
I have a clean install of 12.04 with home and data on separate partitions. I also use a separate partition for my images, both scanned and photographs etc. Unfortunately, when I set up my new system I made a typo when I named that partition, and didn't notice until after everything else was working.
I can access the data on there under the new name, as it mounts fine. However, I now have a lot of broken symlinks due to the change in partition name. Is there a way to change the name of the partition to make those links work again? Or would changing the partition name (maybe using gparted or similar) cause different damage to my new system.
I really don't want to have to re-install again.
Thanks fo any help.
