Hi,
I have the /home on its own partition, but I need to move it to the root partition without losing data, which is the safest way to do that? My root partition is about 20G and the /home partition is about 8G and less than 1G is used because I store my data in a different partition.
openSUSE 10.2
Thanks,
Hi Fernando, Close applications and save data in graphic mode and end session. Go to text terminal with Ctrl-F2, login as root user, init 3 mkdir home1 cp home home1 umount /home mv home1 home Now you have to edit /etc/fstab and comment out the line that mounts your home partition to /home, or change /home in that line to /home1. First will not mount partition at all, second will mount it to /home1 making possible to use it for any purpose you want. init 5 should bring you back to GUI, with new /home directory. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
