OK, i have partitioned the array and have formatted the physical drive. I used these commands: fdsik /dev/sdb -n -p -w Then to formatt i used: mkfs.reiserfs -f /dev/sdb Now to copy over the existing /opt folders and files, i am trying to use: cp /opt/* /dev/sdb/opt and get "not a directory". What is the correct way to copy over the existing /opt folder and files as to not break anything? Symbolic links and what not, i do not want to break anything. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
