Hi all, I think there is a serious mistake in the movefs-howto on linuxvm.org. Section 8 says you should cd to /usr and execute "rm -rf * .*" to delete the contents of the old /usr directory. The problem is that ".*" matches ".." too and would actually delete all files and directories under /. It would be the same as "rm -rf /". The /usr directory normally doesn't contain any dotfiles or dotdirs, so "rm -rf *" should be enough. To be on the safe side you could do "rm -rf /usr" and afterwards "mkdir /usr" to recreate the mountpoint.
And I have a question too: It says you should use tar to copy. Is there a reason why I cannot use "cp -ax"? I have used "cp -ax" a few times to copy directories to other partitions and don't have experienced any problems. Regards Carsten -- Carsten Sommer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
