e2mv − moves or renames files on an ext2fs filesystem
e2mv [options] files... dest
The e2mv command moves or renames files on an ext2fs filesystem. The source files must be explicitly stated. It does not use regular expressions, yet.
−f |
Force the operation to remove any existing files. |
|||
−s |
Swap names of the two files. |
|||
−v |
Be verbose. |
Rename a file:
e2cp −v /tmp/boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.old
If ‘/boot/grub/grub.conf.old‘ already exists and is not a directory, this will fail. Use ‘−f‘ to force removal.
Move a file to a different directory (‘/data/processed‘):
e2cp −v /dev/hdb1:/data/input0.txt /data/processed
To swap the names of two files:
e2cp −vs /tmp/boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.bk
To swap two files and use a new name for the first one:
e2cp −vs boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.c2 /boot/grub/grub.c1
‘/boot/grub/grub.conf‘
is now ‘/boot/grub/grub.c1‘ and
‘/boot/grub/grub.c2‘ is now
‘/boot/grub/grub.conf‘
