I've got a half-dozen 12.3 boxes at this point with a 100-MB boot partition. Can anyone suggest how to move the data in that partition to the root, which has plenty of space? I have a feeling that it's more than "cp -rp".
Thanks, Lew
After booting the machine unmount /boot and mount to a temp mount point and then mv all the the contents from the new temp mount point to /boot. then simply unmount the temp mount point. I think you may need to run mkinitrd to change where the boot files are actually located. Any further booting will happen as though nothing has changed.
That sounds backwards.
Backwards from what? The OP wants to move all of his boot files from a separate partition which he mounted to /boot to the same partition as /. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
