I think yes, because, afaiu, no running processes depend on /usr/src. So i don't see why You can't do this. > It's important to remove the files under /usr/src before mounting the > file system in the correct place; otherwise you won't be able to > access them at all. Sorry, but You propose same way in other words. Way 1: a) move files from /usr/src to tmp-storage b) mount new fs to /usr/src c) move files from tmp to /usr/src Way 2: a) mount new fs on tmp-mountpoint b) move files there c) remount to /usr/src Something similar....:-) With respect, Alexander V Zubchenko, E-Mail: stalker@hermes-comp.zp.ua System Administrator, WWW: http://www.hermes-comp.zp.ua/ Hermes-comp, Ukraine, Zaporizhzhya, Geroev Stalingrada 50 phone/fax: +380 612 64-19-72 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
