In the continuing struggle to undo the damage of the ridiculous partitions
made by the installer, I bought another one terra disk and now have loads of
/usr space and and real /opt partition.
Now, two left:
/var which can either go to the 8gig partition freed by moving /usr or to a

I wouldn't want to use NFS for this task. It's designed for file sharing,
not for file transfer.
good point.
You can then transfer a partition with
