moving the /var partition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello all,

I know this has been addressed on this list before, but I can't seem to find it in the archives. If someone can point it out, I would be very appreciative.

My /var partition is nearly full. I installed a new hard disk, used fdisk to partition it. I then used mke2fs to make an ext3 partition I called /user. I then added a line for it in /etc/fstab.

What I want to do at this point is to make move /var to /user and give them each others names. I went into single user mode and copied everything from /var to /user

# cp -prx /var/* /user

What is(are) the next step(s)?

I couldn't figure this out, so I noticed that the largest file in /var is /var/log/lastlog, so I tried making a hard link to /user/log/lastlog. No joy.

Any ideas?

TIA,

Bill Tangren
