7
9 e2mv [options] files... dest
10
12 The e2mv command moves or renames files on an ext2fs filesystem. The
13 source files must be explicitly stated. It does not use regular expresâ
14 sions, yet.
15
17 -f Force the operation to remove any existing files.
18
19 -s Swap names of the two files.
20
21 -v Be verbose.
22
24 Rename a file:
25
26 e2cp -v /tmp/boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.old
27
28 If `/boot/grub/grub.conf.old` already exists and is not a directory,
29 this will fail. Use `-f` to force removal.
30
31 Move a file to a different directory (`/data/processed`):
32
33 e2cp -v /dev/hdb1:/data/input0.txt /data/processed
34
35 To swap the names of two files:
36
37 e2cp -vs /tmp/boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.bk
38
39 To swap two files and use a new name for the first one:
40
41 e2cp -vs boot.img:/boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.c2
42 /boot/grub/grub.c1
43
44 `/boot/grub/grub.conf` is now `/boot/grub/grub.c1` and
45 `/boot/grub/grub.c2` is now `/boot/grub/grub.conf`
