Do I do this (as root) from the / prompt? Or where else? So I am in effect then moving /var onto /dev/hda3 with 2.1G to play with? And since at the end I mv /var.new to /var all the pointers in the files on /etc will still be able to find them? This sounds a bit tricky and I want to get it right. Is there any backup I should do before I attempt this? Thanks so much.
