What I do normally is:<br>
<small><tt><br>
# mkdir <newdrive>/var<br>
# mv /home/var /home/var.old<br>
# ln -s <newdrive>/var/home/var<br>
# cd /home/var<br>
# find . | cpio -dump <newdrive>/var<br>
// you could also use tar nowadays for it<br>
# reboot // because of open file descriptors of /home/var<br>
// then<br>
// make a spare backup of /home/var.old, one never knows<br>
# cd /home<br>
# rm -rf var.old<br>
// it should work now</tt></small><br>
