After you install the disk, you need to create a partition on it, format that partition, and create a filesystem on it. That's easy to do with fdisk, and mkfs. Then, bring your system to single-user mode, mount this new partition, use rsync, tar or cpio to copy everything under /home to the new partition, unmount /home, and then remount the new partition under /home. Don't forget to edit /etc/fstab to make sure that the new partition is mounted correctly at the next boot. Now you can free up the space used by the old /home parititon on the first disk. I know there is a tool called resize2fs, but I have never used it, so read the man page, and proceed carefully. -- Anand Buddhdev Personal site: http://anand.org _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
