am unable to upgrade rh61. to 7.1 since / is not large enough. I have added a 20GB HDD and moved /usr /usr/local and /home to it.
Q1) how to increase / (now hda has alot of space on it). Other not so critical questions are: Q2) tried to create a larger swap - deleted existing and made a new one as swap using fdisk. However, neither does installer recognize it, nor at reboot time (invalid argument - swap space argument). The book says fdisk is enough, some man'ning and i found mkswap and dd ?? Q3) formatting - if using fdisk and mkfs does one need to format ? could find no command to format, however i recall that installer does give option for format! I did not format hdc, and successfully moved /usr etc. Q4) making a partition for /var. Currently /var is a folder in /. Tried to make a separate partition for/var, but when i copy the backup to newly mounted /var, then i get error messaged and the system hangs. i am in "init 1" I have been reading here that fdisk is better than cfdisk etc. However, when u man fdisk it says that fdisk is buggy, requests you to use cfdisk or sfdisk. comments ? regards and hny. _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
