Wouldn't it be a better way to shrink the / partition and create your own /home partition? Than you can copy your actual /home to this new partition. This depends on the used fs (for ext3, reiserfs or something similar this shouldn't be a problem) but afterwards you would have solved your problems and would have your "wished" /home partition ;) Once again, this solution doesn't replace a working backup! greetings michael _______________________________________________ Grml mailing list - [email protected] http://lists.mur.at/mailman/listinfo/grml join #grml on irc.freenode.org grml-devel-blog: http://grml.supersized.org/
