Renaming volumes and /proc/mounts
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Is it possible to get /proc/mounts to update to the new name after doing an lvrename of a mounted volume? It plays hell on update-grub when you rename a mounted volume and /proc/mounts still has the old name.

lvrename can rename an actively mounted device? Is it supposed to do that?
That sounds a bit strange. I mean if I rename a network device, I'd have to take down the interface before renaming it. I'd think with a disk partition unmounting it would be, at least, prudent? Is it really not necessary?

Of course; the only problem is that /proc/mounts still lists the old name so an update-grub still uses the old name in /boot/grub/grub.cfg, so after a reboot, I have to manually edit the command to point to the new name to boot, then re-run update-grub so subsequent boots work right.
