Mart, Sorry, been busy.
If you are using both an existing key disk AND created a new unionfs partition, you should see a script called 'movekd'. I created the script, but it has not been tested extensively. It does the following: Moves files from a key disk to a unionfs partition based on file system labels (it uses 'findfs LABEL=ASTURW' and 'findfs LABEL=ASTKD') then moves the data from the key disk to a directory on the unionfs partition. It then relabels the old key disk with a different file system label (OLDKD). After that's done, you should reboot immediately, if not sooner ;) After rebooting, you should be golden. However, if you just have the keydisk now, follow all of the instructions in the 'genunion' script. It will prompt you as follows after creating the unionfs file system: > echo "Filesystem Created. > > On new systems you can optionally use unionfs instead of they key disk. > > To create the appropriate file structure, type yes. > > If you have an existing key disk and want to migrate your key disk > settings to this new unionfs partition, execute movekd $DEV after > this script exits. > > To create a new key disk structure on your new unionfs partition, > type yes followed by the Enter key. Press any other key to exit. > > If you are new to Astlinux, you will want to say yes." If you have an existing keydisk answer NO then run movekd.
