Moving quotas from partition to partition

Hey all, I'm about to move my server up to a larger drive, and I'd like to know if it's possible to use an existing quota file, or migrate the quota file somehow onto the new drive? Otherwise, it's going to be a LOT of work by hand. -Dan Mahoney PS, is this question better asked in -hackers?

Hey guys, Assume I have a USB hard drive attached to my machine. Is there any way to make it so that, in the event the drive is mounted and disappears (i.e. is unplugged), the system doesn't vomit on itself (i.e. kernel panic?) I can deal with the fact that data may not be written cleanly to
