I have a linux partition that is running out of space. I have another partition on the drive that used to be NT, I toasted that partition and created another linux partition. I would like to put everthing under /usr on the other partition. I mounted it as /bkup. I tried to go under /usr and do a cp -rf * /bkup as root. I was then going to change the name of /usr to /usr.bak and change /bkup to /usr to test it. I ran into some errors. One in particular mentioned a circular symbolic link. I stopped at this point, because I don't want to make a huge mistake.
So, does anyone know the correct method for doing this? Thanks, Wes
