But if the space on the new disk is sufficient, you can create a new file system there, copy all the data from /usr to it, modify /etc/fstab to point to the new partition, and reboot. If anything goes wrong, you can fix the /etc/fstab and return to the old partition. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients. If you don't, I may ignore the reply.
