Re: [gentoo-user] Placement of /swap

[jkw]

one thing to point out is "cp -a". a while ago i did something similar 
with /usr/local, except i only used "cp -rp". of course all the 
/usr/local/lib symlinks were destroyed :(

Have done this a few times now, used to use a boot disk, but the method
above works fine.  Have never bothered with a symlink as its messy from
a maintenance point of view (seen sun systems where someone had moved
directories all over the place, sometimes multiple times and symlinked
each time - what a mess!).

  Hey BillK & all,

  Anyway, before I start this process, anyone have any comments
on the other question in that post:
Any hassles involved in moving var from hda to hdd ~after~
installing gentoo?  After all, I could set a link on hda, right?
