I am using 6.0 When I installed, I only had a 1.2Bg hd. I have now got another 1.2bg and a 500mb hd which I want to use as followes: 500mb /ftp - for the FTP Server 1.2gb for /usr and /opt

Is it possible to move the current connects of /usr and /opt to another drive, then goto the disk partitions and rename them to suit.

I did something similar, 1. copied everything from /opt and /usr/local to my new drive, cp -dpR /opt/* /usr/local/* <new-drive> 2. added the new mnt point within fstab /dev/hdb2 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2 3. deleted the /opt and /usr/local paths, rm -rf /opt /usr/local 4. remade a blank /usr/local, mkdir /usr/local 5. created a sym link for /opt, ln -s /usr/local /opt 6. rebooted But basically to answer your question, yes, it can be done and done for many different purposes, I also did the same for my /home directory. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - <A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas"><A HREF="http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A">http://www.primenet.com/~tomas</A</A>> S.u.S.E.
