You wanted to grow /var instead, didn't you? You could try growfs for /usr then, but you should backup anyway, best everything. >But /usr has to be unmounted to make a backup, do it ? Best you do it in single user mode. You can have it mounted though (perhaps read-only, e.g. if you want to gzip the backup). >That case can't get the system running. >Thanks for your time >mess-mate Kind regards, Hannah. -- Hannah Schrvter Entwicklung [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bei Schlund + Partner AG Brauerstra_e 48 D-76135 Karlsruhe This specification allows any of these approaches.
