I have free space under /usr/local (separate partition). Is it possible to copy /usr/lib and /usr/lib across to /usr/local and then symlink them back on a live system without breaking it?
Er...
You should not move files somewhere under /usr to the corresponding somewhere under /usr/local; ie, not to places under "/usr/local" that the systems searchs for programs and files, because those files are probably compiled to be installed under /usr. Maybe I'm confusing you.
As long as he moves the entire directory and symlinks to the new location, what's the problem?
If moving to a new partition be careful. There are some hardlinks in the structure and I have been caught out by broken links after doing a similar move.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGTcvEasN0sSnLmgIRAhXDAJ0UUX3NSKFUR+/lQF148hCoRygDlQCgxPjm 2SWWyk2XiB/y+hm93J8vtwM= =z2Na -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
