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.  In itself not a huge problem, but 
unfortunately this has resulted in the / partition being closer to capacity 
than I would like.

Fortunately I have a massive and unused /archive partition 
(on /dev/cciss/c0d0p12 filesystem) which I am not using.  I therefore want to 
unmount /dev/cciss/c0d0p12, change the mount position to /opt and remount.

Given that /opt is only used when clients first boot, and /archive is 
currently unused, this would seem quite straightforward and safe.  My plan is 
simply to do:

# mv /opt /home/opt
# umount /dev/cciss/c0d0p12
Edit /dev/cciss/c0d0p12 mount point in fstab to /opt
# mount /dev/cciss/c0d0p12
# mv /home/opt to /opt
Test!

I have a HP Proliant DL380 G5 with hardware RAID1+0.  The system is backed up 
nightly to DAT.

Can anyone advise on whether my proposed solution is sensible, or whether I 
should do anything different - particularly given the hardware RAID?

Thanks.
