Just a thought, but why not move stuff from /opt directly into /archive and then remount it on /opt? Also rsync is nice for big copies.
My approach: # rsync -av /opt/ /archive/ # umount /dev/cciss/c0d0p12 Edit /dev/cciss/c0d0p12 mount point in fstab to /opt # mount /dev/cciss/c0d0p12 after confirming everything works, umount the partition and clear out the old /opt -Steve Chris Roberts wrote: > Finally decided to upgrade to LTSP5, but before I do, I need to sort out an > old problem which I have been putting off. > > For reasons far too complicated to go into (AKA I screwed up) I have ended up > without a separate /opt partition.
