I did this with near fatal results, except I moved the /var/ directory. I'm still sorting out the permissions... t stands for (according to man chmod): Save Program Text On Swap Device An interesting point is that the permissions of the symbolic links themselves aren't used.

Greetings! I just recently picked up a Seagate Cheetah 4GB SCSI hard drive for $75 from a co-worker. I created a /scsi1 mount point for the hard drive and a /scsi1/tmp directory, moved the current contents of the /tmp directory to /scsi1/tmp, and created a symbolic link on the root partition for /tmp to point to /scsi1/tmp. I was curious to notice that the old /tmp directory had the following permissions: drwxrwxrwt. (I presume that the "t" is the sticky bit.) Do I need this particular permission on the symbolic link? How do I set it? Thanks!
