Rename a volume

Part of podman-volume-rename(1).

Usage

podman volume rename volume new_name

Overview

Renames an existing volume. The following restrictions apply:

•: The volume must not be in use by any containers (running or stopped).

•: The volume must not be currently mounted (via podman volume mount).

•: Only volumes using the local driver can be renamed; volumes backed by a volume plugin or the image driver cannot be renamed.

Renaming an anonymous volume converts it to a named volume.

Options

None.

Examples

Rename volume mydata to data_backup:

$ podman volume rename mydata data_backup
