Today Joel Hammer was heard saying: ->Well, I am not sure what happened, but I fixed the problem. ->Under /mnt, I had some awful looking things like: ->/mnt/hdc1/hda/mnt/hda3, and so on. I am not sure how these got created, but ->they were left over from transferring my root partition between partitions ->and various drives. Anyway, I just doggedly removed all ridiculous looking ->directories, and suddenly I got back 1.5 gigs of free space. I may have been ->mounting the directory on itself. Dunno. ->Well, all is well. ->Thanks for the ideas, ->Joel
*** Still, Llama had an interesting question concerning your original way of doing the partitions: "I do question your rather odd need for symlinks pointing to very non-traditional mount points for everything. Why not just mount /mnt/hda4/opt as /opt in fstab and get rid of the symlink? Ditto for all the others?" I might have an idea but I would, and others I think, still like to hear your answer...
