The / partition on my home PC is fairly small and sometimes gets filled up because ov /var, so I've decided to migrate /var somewhere else.
I have /usr and /home as separate partitions and would like to leave /usr alone, thus putting /var under /home, which is quite large and nearly unused (it's just a home PC, and use it to connect to the 'real' one at work). Q: Which is the correct way to do this? ======================================= I actually did it "by hand", by tar-ing /var, copying it under /home and untaring it there. Then deleting /var and symlinking /home/var to /var. But I guess this is something VERY BAD as I ended up with lots of problems with PERMISSIONS. Now normal users CANNOT write into directories under /var, like /var/log or /var/lock, so I get lots of troubles of any kind... Alberto.
