Renaming Directories

Simple question here.  Say I want to rename /mnt/store to 
/mnt/store.old.  I could of course do this with cp, however, I don't 
have enough disk space.  So is there a way that just does a rename of 
the directory?
# mv /mnt/store mnt/store.old would create a new directory full of 
files, wouldn't it?
