(for example if your new partition is on hdb3 (third partition on primary slave)) # mount /dev/hdb3 /mnt/hdb3 # cp -dprvx /home/justin /mnt/hdb3/justin d - this will preserve your links p - preserve ownership, timestamps, etc. r - recursive v - verbose - see what is happening x - stick to one source file system (mount). not necessary but a good idea when working with whole file systems. then set up your new partition to mount at /home good luck - tom On Mon, 2003-04-21 at 20:30, Justin Haaheim wrote: > what's the best way to move my /home directory to another partition as > redhat9 would, for instance, if I had chosen to do that during install. > I tried just moving to the new place, and doing > cp -R /home/justin . > but that wasn't able to copy a number of the items for various reasons. > Some were permissions things.
