Re: linking

[Gary Mulder]

Say you want to move /usr/local to live in /muz, where you have scads of
space.   Do the following.
  (I have my own naming convention that helps me keep track of things
   you can name things as you like - but try to be mnemonic).
or alternatively do (and preferably from single user mode, with a "mount 
-a" to mount all of the fs):

        cd /usr
        tar cf - ./local | (cd /muz; tar xf -)
        find ./local -type f -exec cksum {} \; > /var/tmp/cksums_usr
        cd /muz
        find ./local -type f -exec cksum {} \; > /var/tmp/cksums_muz
        diff /var/tmp/cksums_*
        (the cksum output files should be identical...)
        rm -r /usr/local
        ln -s /muz/local /usr/local
