I haven't been following this thread closely, but I have been having what
must be similar problems with space, as my / partition is full, and I must
do something or I won't be able to save or create new docs or print or
stuff like that. I have two hard drives involved. On one, I have a /boot
partition of 18,000k, and a swap partition of 131,000k, and lastly a /
partition of 1.5 gigs, which contains everything except /home. The /
partition is full. On a second hard drive, sharing space with a FAT32
partition, I have an EXT2 partition that contains /home, and that has about
1.2 gigs free. I have attempted to simply copy my /usr directory to /home
and link it up with a symlink, and that worked for a lot of things, but I
discovered that things got dropped on the way, so odd stuff would happen,
like no backspace on the keyboard. I also tried the whole process of
creating new mount points and remounting directories, but that caused even
worse side effects.
So, HDA1 is Windows
HDA3 is /home with 1.2 gigs free. mounts at /mnt/DOS_hda3
HDC1 is /boot
HDC2 is swap
HDC3 is /(everything else)
I need to move whole file systems around and still have things work. I
would appreciate feedback as to the surest way to accomplish this without
destroying my system.
Thanks! Don J.
