I am having a bit of a problem with getting a normal boot up sequence when trying to split out /usr/share into a different partition due to my /usr space running out of room. Here is what I did: /dev/sda1 = /boot /dev/sda2 = / /dev/sda3 = swap /dev/sdb1 = /share (new) /dev/sdb2 = /app1 /dev/sdb3 = /app2 1: mkdir /usr2 2: cd /usr2 3: tar-copied /usr into /usr2 (excepting /usr/share) 4: restorecon -R . 5: e2label /dev/sdb1 /share 6: updated /etc/fstab: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/share /share ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/app1 /app1 ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/app2 /app2 ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5;mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 7: reboot in rescue CD 8: mount /dev/sda2(/) /mnt 9: cd /usr 10: mv share share-old 11: ln -s ../share/share share 12: umount /mnt; reboot and remove rescue CD When rebooted I see: 1: normal bios stuff 2: udev 3: fsck file checks 4: <do not see the gui screen showing services being loaded> 5: Immediately see the GDM greeter (Login screen) 6: Login as normal user and my services and network is disabled. I checked /usr/share and it is correctly symlinked to /share/share Do I have the fstab order right i.e. should I put the /share ahead of /boot or does it matter? Any advice?
