Not sure what you mean by "extend itself", but when you mount /usr, you will mask whatever was in /usr, so you can't mount an empty partition as /usr, or you will lose your system. Assume /dev/hda3 is /, /mnt is open for temporary mounts, and you're going to mount /dev/hda6 as /usr: # mke2fs /dev/hda6 # mount /dev/hda6 /mnt # cp -a /usr/* /mnt # umount /mnt # mount /dev/hda6 /usr # mount /dev/hda3 /mnt # rm -rf /mnt/usr/* # umount /mnt # echo "/dev/hda6\t/usr\text2\tdefaults\t1 1" >> /etc/fstab Of course, this is hypothetical, I didn't tell you to do this, and if you lose your system, it's not my fault ;] -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
