Re: Strategy for /tmp and /home Partitioning

Easier way.

1. Add the new disk, partition it however you want. 2 partitions, one for /home, one for /tmp. Make the filesystems.

2. As root, cp -Rp things over. Best to have as little activity as possible. That is, not running X, not getting e-mail.

All that is really needed is runlevel 1, or boot single; no need for rescue CD, no need to worry about activity, etc.

Also, I'd probably do a

  cd /home; tar -cvf - | ( cd /mnt/home; tar -xvf - )
  cd /tmp; tar -cvf - | ( cd /mnt/tmp; tar -xvf - )

assuming that the new partitions are mounted at the same time under /mnt.
