Need to move /usr to a different partion, any good way ? /Dee
I tried this, by moving /usr to /newbigdisk/usr and making
a symlink /usr -> /newbigdisk/usr (of course in single user
mode), but... that did not work because unfortunately, there
are lots of "-> ../" type symlinks in user (who expect that
../ is /), and you'll get ldconfig and other sorts of errors.
(the suse developers probably used this strategy to have /
mounted variously (flop, disk) working).
Best is imho to move put /usr on a new partition.
If you use LVM (Logical Volume Manager) this is supposedly
simpler and easier, but i had some problems with that, too :-/
Good luck!
