First apologies. I have had some problems getting the search function on the mail archives to function properly this morning so I have not been able to trawl for past questions regarding the same topic properly.
The problem:
I have bought a new 80 Gb ATA133 Hard disk for my desktop running mandrake linux. I would like to migrate some of the partions on the existing disk to the new disk and then 'grow' the remaining partitions to fill the original disk.
I tried moving /home, /usr and /var on to the new disk by simply using SU on konqueror and simply copying the files accross. I them altered /etc/fstab to mount the new partitions at reboot.
BUT - the copy process changed a lot of permissions and all kinds of things have errored
