There are two ways. Either you can make a new partition in your new hard disk and change your home partition or you can create a LVM for home directory. 1> Enter single-user mode. # init 1 Create a new partition in your new disk to be used as new home partition (let the partition be /dev/hdc1). Make file system in that partition #mkfs -t ext3 /dev/hdc1 Make a temp directory. #mkdir /mnt/temp Mount your new partition to temp directory #mount /dev/hdc1 /mnt/temp/ Copy home directory contents to new partition #cp -a /home/* /mnt/temp After copying umount both hdc1 and home directory. #umount /home #umount /mnt/temp Change your fstab entry # # File: /etc/fstab # #/dev/hdb2 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdc1 /home ext3 defaults 1 2 Execute #mount ?a Go back to runlevel 5. #init 5. Disadvantage of this method is your previous home partition will be unused.(But you can used it for some other purpose) 2> Enter single-user mode. # init 1 Backup your home directory. #mkdir /backup #cp ?a /home /backup Unmount your home partition. #umount /home Using fdisk set your /dev/hdb2 partition type to 8e. Make a partition in your new disk as per your need (let it be /dev/hdc1). Using fdisk set /dev/hdc1 partition type to 8e. Define Each Physical Volume # pvcreate /dev/hdb2 pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/hdb2" successfully created # pvcreate /dev/hdc1 pvcreate -- physical volume "/dev/hdc1" successfully created Run Vgscan # vgscan vgscan -- reading all physical volumes (this may take a while...) # Create A Volume Group For the PVs # vgcreate lvm1 /dev/hdc1 /dev/hdb2 Volume group "lvm1" successfully created Create A Logical Volume From The Volume Group # vgdisplay lvm1 --- Volume group --- VG Name lvm1 VG Access read/write VG Status available/resizable VG # 0 MAX LV 256 Cur LV 0 Open LV 0 MAX LV Size 255.99 GB Max PV 256 Cur PV 2 Act PV 2 VG Size 848 MB PE Size 4 MB Total PE 212 Alloc PE / Size 0 / 0 Free PE / Size 212 / 848 MB VG UUID W7bgLB-lAFW-wtKi-wZET-jDJF-8VYD-snUaSZ Using lvcreate create logical volume # lvcreate -l 212 lvm1 -n lv0 Format The Logical Volume # mkfs -t ext3 /dev/lvm1/lv0 Mount your new logical volume to /home directory # mount /dev/lvm1/lv0 /home Copy back your data from /backup. #cp ?a /backup /home.

I am using busybox-1.00-pre4 instead of busybox-1.00 because I have product on gcc version 2.96 and busybox-1.00 required GLIBC_2.3. I tried > try to execute ash instead of init >mv /sbin/init /sbin/init.old > echo "#!/bin/sh >while true; /bin/ash; done" > /sbin/init >chmod a+x /sbin/init But,It gives Going to execute /sbin/init sh: It gives blinking cursor.It does nothing afterwards. Does it mean I have to execute init? I tried to type something, it does nothing unlike normal shell. Plz help me. On 8/9/06, Roberto A.
