Surgery? We hope everything's okay. Using cp for moving partitions makes me nervous, especially if there are symbolic links in the source side (by default, cp copies the contents of symlinks, rather than the symlink itself. This can lead to recursion that fills up a disk). Also, I'd want to unmount /home, then remount on /mnt, just to make sure it's quiescent. I'm rather fond of a tar pipeline for this kind of thing, as in: cd /mnt; tar cf - . | (cd /data; tar xfBp -) Also, rsync is a more modern way of safely doing the deed: rsync -av /mnt/ /data Once finished, unmount /mnt and /data, edit /etc/fstasb, then mount -a. Figuring out how to unmount /home and /data if it won't let you is an exercise left for the student. :-) Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
