If /usr and /usr/local are right next to each other, you should be able to delete both of those, and then recreate a single partition using the same cylinders that were used for two partitions before.
I have not tried this though.... Back up your system thoroughly before you do this. Recently IBM announced that they were releasing code for volume management. On the AIX servers here at work the admins can dynamically change the size of partitions as the server is running, shifting unused space around between partitions at will. It's a nice setup, and once this is integrated into Linux possibly in the future would make your problem much easier to solve. Another option that you might have already considered is that you can create links from the /usr directory to directories that physically exist on the /usr/local partition. Slightly messy, but it will work. --- Goeman Stefan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would like to change my partition table so that the partition > /usr/local > is removed and this disk space is added > to the partition /usr. ===== Patrick Draper | Don't |[EMAIL PROTECTED] Austin, Texas | Fear |Father Order runs at a http://pdrap.home.texas.net | The |good pace, but old Mother Be Microsoft Free - Use Linux |Penguin |Chaos is winning the race. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
