This will work. -- However -- you must do it in single user mode. Tar up your current /var and stick it somewhere in /usr. Boot single user, mount / and /usr rw, edit /etc/fstab appropriately, create your directory and symlinks, untar the old var in the new spot and reboot multiuser. -- Jay On Sun, 1 Jun 1997, Sinuralan wrote: -> ->Heya, -> ->Just wanted to check and see if anybody knows for sure whether replacing ->/var with a symlink to something like /usr/var (with all appropriate ->subdirs) would work. -> ->Thanks in advance. -> ->--- ->Sin <sin@cowz.lumiere-cc.com> ->Cowz: http://cowz.lumiere-cc.com/ ->
