It's hard to tell without knowing usage. In the system with single used partition for all directories, I used to switch to runlevel 1 nad then: mkdir /mnt/hdd7 mount -t auto /dev/hdd7 /mnt/hdd7 copy /usr /mnt/hdd7 umount /mnt/hdd7 mv /usr /usr1 mount -t auto /dev/hda7 /usr Check that it works. init 5 Put in /etc/fstab /dev/hdd7 /usr auto defaults 0 0 Reboot to see that it is all OK and remove /usr1. Instead of "auto" you can put actual file system on /dev/hdd7. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
