CentOS file system

[nguylb73]

df -h

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root
50G 4.0G 43G 9% /
tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 485M 69M 391M 15% /boot
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_home
242G 404M 230G 1% /home
/usr/tmpDSK 485M 11M 449M 3% /tmp


Above is my file system setup. I have the following questions.

1. since /home is inside / wouldn't it be cap by /'s limit of 50 GB?
2. How do I rename /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root to something more simple such as /dev/mapper/dev1 or dev2?

No because it is a partition of its own.
