Hello, I have created a new partition labeled usr01 and I want to copy all of the contents of /usr to that partition and then use it as the new partition. This is the steps that I have taken, I would appreciate any comments if what I propose will function correctly. Installed new drive
What new drive?
made partition labeled usr01 mounted new partition on /mnt cd /usr cp -R --preserve=all * /mnt
I would use cp -a and that works fine
That is what I have done so far, now if I do the following will the system boot up and work correctly? umount /mnt edit /etc/fstab and make the new partition /dev/sdb1 mount to /usr reboot.
Your leaving out some important steps. I am not sure what your rebooting? -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org.
