Hi All,
Is there a quick and easy way to move a main OS directory (im thinking /usr since its taking up most of the space - ~900MB) to a different drive without any hassle. At the moment all but /home are on hda2 but this disk is almost full. Ive already got another drive installed with plenty of free space (hdc). I suspect this will cause problems but thought its worth asking.
if the above isn't quick nor easy then can someone suggest another solution to re-jig my setup?
Here's the current state..
$df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 1.4G 1.1G 207M 85% /
/dev/hda1 63M 6.3M 54M 11% /boot
/dev/hda3 248M 132M 104M 56% /home
none 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdd1 77G 58G 19G 76% /fileserv
+ another 80GB drive that isnt formatted yet (hdc)
/dev/hdd (/fileserv) cannot be touched (this is where my important stuff is) and I dont really want to reinstall the OS.
It's my own fault for putting such a small disk in it originally - it was only gonna hold network shares but I'm starting to use it more since being forced back to Windows (don't even ask ;)].
All suggestions welcome.
TIA
Jeff
