It depends on what you mean by "correctly".  :-)

If you do this, Amanda will see the changed disklist entry as a "new"
disk and will force a full dump on the next run.  The old name will
eventually be forgotten as the tapes cycle out.  That's probably the
easiest thing to do.

If you really want to maintain the information from the previous
run(s), you need to do a few things:

  * Cd into the curinfo directory tree.  At the first layer are host
    names.  Cd into the client.  At that level are the disks with slightly
    altered names ('_' for '/', etc).  Rename that disk directory to
    the new name (following the naming convention).

  * Do the same thing in the index directory, if you're using that.

  * Edit all the log.YYYYMMDD.NN files and change references from the
    old name to the new name (this is the most painful part -- Perl is
    your friend :-).

This same thing came up a few days ago and I added a TODO list item to
create a "rename" amadmin option, but that obviously won't be ready any
time soon.
