Hi ! I have Red Hat 8 on a intel P 4 machine with 512 MB memory . Thanks to all , I was able to partition my 60 GB hard drive creating extended drives . Now I want to move some of directories under my root to my extended partition that has already been formatted with mkfs.ext3. I have got the procedure to move /tmp and /var to their own shared partition . I want to move /usr , /applications , /backup , /home , misc , /proc , /tmp . I want to mount /dev/hda5 as /usr & /dev/hda6 as /home or what ever most suitable . But my greatest worry is how to make sure that the previously installed applications work after the move . How to preserve the symbolic & hard links as files are moved across different partitions. Please advice if it is possible to do a successful move of some of the directories under / and still preserve the links and make the applications work. Thanks in advance , cheers, bj My root directory structure is as ffs :- applications backup bin boot dev etc home initrd lib lost+found misc mnt opt proc root sbin tftpboot tmp usr var _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
