Hello SuSE people.
Welllll.....I went and did it - screwed up again. Trying to gain a little disk space, I went in and deleted a partition that I wasn't using very much. Of course that changed drive numbers (which I didn't realize until now), and moved /var up to the next drive number, and I failed to go in an edit fstab. Of course the next time I booted Suse failed because of the change.
The fastest recovery for this problem is the spare drive solution. Install to the new one and rsync /home to the new /home. If you can recover the partition with the install / repair option your lucky and got off easy otherwise your left with clean install. BTW you did make an update disk out of the i386 folder? I ran out of space almost on my 20gig. Rather than reinstall I put in a new drive 40 gig and parttioned with an eye to the future when it will become the main disk. I put /home on the new disk, changed fstab and rebooted. If space is the issue then my solution is the best in the long run. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
