I tried doing init 1 at the command prompt after linux came up. It accepted the init command, but when I issue the rm statement, I get the same messages. When I issue a ps -ef command, all processes are still running. If I'm supposed to issue init 1 at startup time, where do I do that? At startup time, I get a list of kernels and I can issue a #cp command to choose which kernel. If I have to do the init 1 here, how do I do it? Steve

My root subdirectory has gotten full. When I built this linux, /opt and a couple other subdir were installed as separate mount points. Now, I'd like to move var to a separate dasd/mount point. When I try to rm the var subdirectory, I use the -rf command. However, 5 subdir's won't delete. They are: `var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/statd' `var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/portmap' `var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/nfs' `var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/mount' `var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/lockd' I get an "operation not permitted" message. I figure that maybe there is a task running, so I go and kill some tasks that look like they might be related to this, but still no luck. I need to remove this subdir so I can mount the new one (var). I do not have a 2nd linux running therefore, I cannot mount this disk to a 2nd one and delete var. Basically, all I have is a linux command line in a 3270 session. I can't putty into this linux under existing conditions. Does anyone have any suggestion?
