With Linux 2.4, one can mount a partition on more than one mount point. So if /usr is on the same partition as /, one can mount the new /usr partition, and then mount the / partition on /mnt, and then 'rm -rf /mnt/usr/*'. This way, /usr is never empty. But you're right, changing /usr's partition is probably best done from recovery media. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
