Relabel partition didn't work



Linux debian 2.6.18-4-486 #1 Mon Mar 26 16:39:10 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux



Hi,

I want to change the name and access point of a partition on my second hd.
It's labeled /xyz now (coz I could think of no better name when installing etch).
I tried this:

e2label /dev/hdb4
xyz

e2label /dev/hdb4 store

e2label /dev/hdb4
store

So seemingly the label has changed.



I edited /etc/fstab accordingly:

changing  /dev/hdb4       /xyz            ext3    defaults        0       2
           to  /dev/hdb4       /store         ext3    defaults        0       2



Then I rebooted, only to find this message popping up during boot time:

   mount: mount point /store does not exist

There was no further error during boot time and kde was up and running.
Then I'd reset everything and could mount and access /xyz as before.

What did I do wrong and how do I change /xyz to /store?



Greetings, Manon Metten.
