Can you show us the "slew of errors"? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jarred White Sent: Thursday, July 16, 2009 10:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [brlug-general] Moving the /usr files
Morning all. Because I didn't allocate enough space to begin with for my Fedora VM, I needed to increase the size somehow. I figured the best way to do this would be to add an additional SCSI HDD via VMWare. So I added a 20G virtual drive, partitioned and made an ext3 filesystem on it. It's /dev/sdb1. To make some space, I wanted to move /usr onto the new sdb1 partition. So, I did the following: cp -aR /usr/* /mnt/tmp (where I mounted sdb1) Then I edited my fstab to include the following line: /dev/sdb1 /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 I also backed up my existing /usr dir to /usrbak, although ideally I guess I shouldn't need it. When I reboot, I get a whole slew of errors. So I boot into single user mode where I'm able to take a look at everything. df appears to show /usr mounted properly: /dev/sdb1 20G 2.6G 17G 14% /usr Additionally, I can use binaries from within /usr without any problem. If I try to use 'joe', it works. Just curious if I have forgotten some big piece that I need to make this happen, or if I improperly copied the files over (without preserving ownership/symlinks, but I think I did), or if my line in fstab is jacked up. Maybe it's also an issue with vmware's logical HDD? The good news is I snapshotted the image before I started getting all crazy. So I can always roll back. Any thoughts?
