What exactly do you mean > by "one of the partitions you are allowed to put on a > different drive? cretian partitions MUST be on the same drive as '/'. Diskdrake will offer to copy (and I believe it uses 'cp') files if you are creating a new partiton to replace the old. so when I put in a new drive, adn I want to copy all of /var, after it creates /var it will offer to copy over what is in the old /var, or if I make a /var/www, it will offer to just copy over /var/www, after it's done, you can not tell /var/www is not on the same drive as /var, unless you go looking someplace other than the directory tree.
