hello MANDRAKE! i'd like to add a new harddrive to my system and move some of the bigger directories to it. i have basically no problem with the operation but one thing. beside moving uncritical directories like /home i'd like to move my /var tree and /tmp to the new drive... i'm afraid of crashing my system because there must be a time when the tree to be moved is not available to the system. i plan to 1) cp -dpR /var /mnt/drive2 2) rm -rf /var 3) ln -s /mnt/drive2/var / what will happen between 2) and 3) when a daemon tries to write to the logs or the tmp dir?
