So in this case it did not move anything. But, its also ignoreing the 4GB /root partition, putting the /root dir on /. Thats a genuine bug as far as I'm concerned. Its also bailed out on the first file from disk 2, claiming there is no disk space left, but the maximum useage of the partitions I've checked since rebooting on the rescue disk is 10%, with most being only 2% used so far. The only thing I can see is that /tmp/loop0, which looks like it should be a directory, is a file, and its 100% full. At a hair over 170MB. >-- >William Hooper Waiting on instructions... -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
