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?
