I cannot remember precisely which libraries were involved but as usual for these things I discovered the problem when I needed to use OpenOffice in a hurry. It only took 10 to 15 minutes to diagnose and fix but it was a bloody nuisance at the time. I not entirely certain whether there are not any other broken links created by this move, but I will probably find out the hard way *sigh*
Next time I do this I will make sure that I check for such linkages before I move structures to new partitions...:-)
Mmmm... The "/usr" directory is a typical one to have on a separate partition, and in that case there can't be hardlinks from outside. If some programs requires hardlinks, it is a bug. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
