Hi all,
I want to move /var /tmp and swap to partitions on a second disc. Swap and /tmp is easy, but how do I move the contents of /var without screwing up any permissions? If I just do
mv * /var
Try this. Mount your new var partition Go into single user mode as root cd / var cf - /var | (cd /newvar; tar xf -) umount both partitions mount /newvar as /var Do whatever you like with your new partition :-) brian -- Brian Jackson http://www.BrianJacksonPhoto.com http://www.ActionAthletics.com http://www.sportsshooter.com/brian
