IMHO, install new drive. Partiton new drive into its final state. Copy old system onto new drive. Nuke setup on old drive. Reinstall hardware into final configuration if it is not already. Redistribute files onto both drives from the new one which presently has everything.

My goal is for a fast server > with lots of space on /usr/home. How about, 3.2 GB: / - 100 MB swap - 128 MB /usr/home - ~3.0 MB 1.5 GB: swap - 128 MB /usr - ~1.4 MB Where, % ln -s usr/var /var % mkdir /usr/var Of course, if you want to get more fancy, concatinate /usr and /usr/home with vinum and just have /, /usr, and a swap on each disk. -- Crist J.
