So my Debian Lenny is installed on /dev/sda1 (ext3 formatted). My VMware Virtual Machines are stored at the following locations on /dev/sda1
# ls -l /var/lib/vmware/ total 8 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-10-22 16:35 hostd drwxrwxrwt 10 root root 4096 2010-01-25 12:21 Virtual Machines # I am running out of space on my sda1 partition and hence I would like to use another empty ext3 partition (/dev/sda5) to store my Virtual Machine. Here is what I am thinking to do: 1. Copy all the stuff from ls -l /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines onto the /dev/sda6 parition. 2. Put the following in my /etc/fstab on /dev/sda1: /dev/sda6 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines none bind 0 0 Just wanted to seek some opinions from experts on the above solution. Also will the space in "Virtual Machine" will be acceptable by fstab. Could I have just used: /dev/sda6 /var/lib/vmware/Virtual Machines ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 in my fstab? Thanks in advance.
