Hello,
Ok, resizing my /var partition was without incident, so thanks much to
the replies I got for reassurance...
Now, I have another thing I'd like to do, but it is only incidentally
LVM related...
When this system was first set up - not by me - they put /home, /usr and
/var on LVM partitions.
I'm fine with /home and /var, but I'd like to put /usr back as part of
the / partition...
Has anyone ever done something like this before?
I'm thinking something along the lines of:
1. Boot off of livecd
2. mount /
3. Mount /usr
4. cp /usr to /usr2 on /
5. umount /usr
6. mv /usr2 /usr
?
Thanks for any comments/suggestions/how-to pointers...
Hi !
As file rights and protection are important on /usr,
Consider replacing #4 with :
(cd /usr && tar cf - . ) | (cd /usr2 && tar xpf -) as root
or if you prefer
still as root
dump 0uaf - /usr | (cd /usr2 && restore -rf -)
In this second way, you do not need to mount the original /usr (but in
this case you've to give the device file to dump instead of /usr)
But some people will question the reason you will move from LVM to plain
filesystem/partitioning....
