Or, if you want the system to do it for you,
telinit 1
move data
telinit 3
will work just as nicely, except you won't have network access during that
time. But that helps to keep the riffraff out while you're trying to get

Note on moving /var :
if you're running daemons that log to /var, do a " ps auxe " and " kill -9
<relevant daemon pids>" before unmounting /var and copying the directories
and files over to the new /var on the new DASD.
I just found that out the other day.

You ask, "What is the most important thing?"
Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people."
