Saturday I'll be adding a second 40GB and a tertiary 6GB disk to the system (in favor of adding a CD-RW to a system that already has a DVD super multi-format drive). I'd like to rearrange my mount points a bit.
Here is my current fstab. # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# /dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0 /dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1 /dev/ad0s1e /tmp ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2 /dev/ad0s1d /var ufs rw 2 2 /dev/acd0 /mnt/cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 linproc /usr/compat/linux/proc linprocfs rw 0 0 Specifically I would like to move /usr/home to the 40GB drive and possibly move /var to the 6GB drive (depending on how the drive behaves). I know it should be as easy as moving the relevant directories to the new drives once the file systems have been finalized. I'm just curious as to any issues I might need to be on the watch for (obviously I'll be editing fstab before moving the directories, then issuing the mount command as appropriate). I'm doing this move specifically for space issues. My current drive (40GB) is nearly full (I only have 2.5GB left on /usr). I wish I wouldn't have deleted this mornings reports so I can give a run down on specifically how much is left everywhere, but it's getting pretty full. Once I've moved /var and /usr/home to their own disks, how can I reclaim what has already been allocated for them? Or will that happen automatically? Any specific concerns about that? Or would gparted and not fdisk be my friend here? By the way, the above is the default configuration for my system. I did nothing to modify the default values calculated when I did the install (I also plan on attacking my problem with jpeg that day too, running ldd left me with a 40+KB file to sort through). -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
