File systems can be renamed by using the zfs rename command. With the rename subcommand, you can perform the following operations:
Change the name of a file system.
Relocate the file system within the ZFS hierarchy.
The new location must be within the same pool and must have enough disk space to accommodate the new file system.
Change the name of a file system and relocate it within the ZFS hierarchy.
The rename operation attempts an unmount/remount sequence for the file system and any descendent file systems. The rename command fails if the operation is unable to unmount an active file system. If this problem occurs, you must forcibly unmount the file system.
For example, to change the name of the file system only, you would type:
# zfs rename tank/home/eric tank/home/eric_old
To relocate a file system, you would type:
# zfs rename tank/home/mark tank/ws/mark
