Reply with quote

I want to move my /var dir onto a separate partition. Is it safe enough to mount the new partition somewhere then do the following

Code:

cd /var
find . -depth -print0 | cpio -0pdmv <mounted partition>

Then erase the old /var dir (after checking and how to check) and edit fstab to mount the new partition on boot. Or is there a better way to do it.

For /var I would boot with a LiveCD and then copy everything over when the system's not running.
