path name change... possible?

[davlaw]

When I first started working with Proxmox I was using ip addresses for my nfs shares that are located on SAN storage. It was quick, and it worked, but its not correct.

I would like to change my ip addresses to named paths to balance things out on the SAN...

I found within /proc a file called mounts that contain what I'm looking for but know that is not the correct place to change this but wanted to know if there was a why I could change the ip to a named path, gui does not let you, without having to move everything around... fstab seems to indicate its for local mounts only.

172.16.0.1:/fs0/shares/sharename

to this

scalenfs.scale:/fs0/shares/sharename

Backup and restore to new storage I suppose it going to be best, but not the fastest..

Hmm, why do you wan't to use backup/restore? You don't need to change the storage-name (but i don't see the big effort):

Like this before:

nfs: admin_nfs
    path /mnt/pve/admin_nfs
    server 172.20.1.11
    export /var/pve
    options vers=3
    content iso,backup

To this with names:

nfs: admin_nfs
    path /mnt/pve/admin_nfs
    server admin.example.com
    export /var/pve
    options vers=3
    content iso,backup

the hostname must be a real dns-name or in /etc/hosts.
