What I would try - run "init 1" to switch to runlevel 1 (single-user mode) and make sure any services that use /var (httpd, mail servers, etc.) are turned off. Unmount /opt and /var. Edit /etc/fstab to point /opt and /var to the correct partitions. Remount the filesystems and move your files to the appropriate filesystem*. Use init to switch back to your preferred runlevel (3 or 5). *If you have enough space on another filesystem, I'd recommend as a precaution that you create temp directories for /opt and /var and cp -a everything to the temp directories before you unmount and edit /etc/fstab. > > > Thanks > > Brian -- Michael Knepher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
