[SLUG] Life is a 'where is it'
I saw in a Sam's book that there is/was a program called cabaret that worked with file systems on Red Hat. It doesn't seem to be there. Has it been replaced? What I need to do is move a chunk of storage space from hd7 to hd6. How's that done? (I already know . . . very carefully.)

Symantec now have GHOST for netware. I also hear that a Linux version is on the way. Can anyone bring some light to this?

It's only $60 or so - well worth it. DaZZa -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

Can anyone bring some light to this? the ghost for netware will replicate one complete netware server to another, dos partition and all. ghost version 5 will already clone a linux partition. runs from dos. boot dos. run ghost and copy your linux partition to a file. then you can put the partition on a new disk somewhere else or keep it in case you trash your origional one somehow. very fast. a redhat standard install will backup/restore in about 10 mins. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

You mean you have free space on hd7 (hda7?) and are running out on hd6 (hda6?)?. Isn't `mv' good enough? In a pinch you could use tar to move the directory. You may want to, if you have the time to rbuild the machine, make use of volume management under Linux.

To get more precise the likely candidate for moving would be the entire doc directory. But I would need to leave a symbolic link behind ... right? None of the books I have specifically indicate that a link for an entire directory and all its children is possible . . . they just talk about links to files. Is such a link possible?

Yes
Go to new place you want to put the stuff.
Create new directory new
cd new
cp -r /path/to/old/* #copy recursively the original stuff
ls #check it is there
cd /path/to/old
cd .. # up one level, of course use cd /path
mv old old-2 # shift old aside slightly
ln -s /path/to/new old # make the link
du -s old-2# check size of original
du -s old # compare to new
if paranoid you can find on each sub-dir and pipe into a file, then
run that program (which I can not remember at present - aaah = diff)
that compares the contents of two files.
Check any apps that work across the link. Occassionally some will not
work.
