Ok, so you rename logical volume but .... will you have save reboot? Here is few things you should be aware of.

1. Make changes in /etc/fstab
In case you forgot to do that, you will have problems once you reboot you system

2. In case you have renamed logical volume that was mounted on / you need to make changes in /boot/grub/menu.lst and make changes where ever you have old logical volume name.
