Update /etc/fstab with the appropriate information. Also, read http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html to double-check your thinking on methodology.
The lsof command will identify who might be using stuff in /opt. You would probably want to do a "telinit 1" command first, so that you don't have to worry about it.

Abresch Jr. - at Pepco Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2004 12:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Adding Spaces to a filesystem I am running Linux SLES8 SP03 in a native LPAR. My root file system is running out of space. I was going to create a separate file system for directory /opt and move the data under this directory to the new file system. I have obtained a new DASD UCB address 2536 and here is what I plan to do. dasdfmt ?v ?n 2536 ?d cdl ?l LNX003 ?b 4096 ?p I was then going to define 2 equal partitions using: fdasd ?-verbose ?l LNX003 and follow the menu prompts Create 2 Reiser File systems using mkreiserfs /dev/dasdc1 mkreiserfs /dev/dasdc2 I was then going to create a temporary mount point and mount one of the new file systems. mount ?t reiserfs /dev/dasdc1 /tempmount Shutdown all users of directory /opt How can I identify users of /opt? Move all data from /opt to /tempmount Can someone provide a cp command that will do this with all subdirectories. Unmount new filesystem using umount /tempmount mount the new filesystem on /opt using mount ?t reiserfs /dev/dasdc1 /opt Start my processes up again. Have can I insure that this new filesystem is automatically mounted at boot time? Can anyone provide pointers, opinions, or recommendations? Thanks.
