Hi all. This is more of a generic question but there are lots of knowledgeable people here so I think it is a good place to ask.
A while back I tried to compile and install a new kernel but ran out of space on the root filesystem. To fix this I tried moving /lib onto a separate spare partition. I updated /etc/fstab but then found that the system would not boot because /lib wasn't mounted early enough.
Is there a correct way (or an elegant way) to fix this? Does it require a rebuild of initrd?
/lib needs to be on the root filesystem. Otherwise all files could be in /usr/lib as well - /lib was created to contain those libs that are needed for booting so that /usr can be on a separate partition, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform/openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
