HiHi Ted!
/dev/wd1j /home-b ext2fs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
/dev/wd0i /400 ext2fs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2
I would not recommend using ext2fs for long term storage. It's fine
for migration, but not intended to be a primary store.
Yep that's in my list of TTD but the more basic drive/partition migration
comes first.
Would it be 'better' to migrate /etc/passwd as described in
http://openbsd.rt.fm/faq/faq9.html#passwd, which I have already built
files for but not installed, or should I adduser them all from scratch
and let the system take care of UIDs and groups.
Certainly, you are less likely to screw anything up by running adduser a
few times compared to trying a bulk update, but then the user IDs aren't
likely to match the ones on disk and fixing that later may pose trouble
(wrong permissions).
Sure they definitely won't match. What I meant was:
If I recreate users, then it's fully compatible. But I need to chmod
the whole /home/* to match the new ID numbers, though that's not a big
deal by script.
From the new passwd file I can extract all the names, IDs, and /home
paths, and edit that down to a script with a ton of chown -R (not chmod as
I said above.)
TY Have a :) day!
Jim
