I don't know if this is the "best" way, but is one I've done for years . . . cd srcdir ; tar -cf - . | (cd destdir ; tar -xpf -) which for your example would be: cd /FILESYSTEM; tar -cf - . | (cd /storage/FILESYSTEM ; tar -xpf -) then you would rm -rf /FILESYSTEM ln -s /storage/FILESYSTEM /FILESYSTEM -Derek
