Expanding / is not something I'd recommend from a policy perspective. What you are asking for is easily accomplished with LVM ... included in the most recent versions of RedHat. It lets you grow (or shrink) volumes and filesystems as your storage requirements and resources change. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/ EVMS (http://evms.sourceforge.net/) takes this concept to the next level with really cool tools. thornton -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
