Wow, this is what i’ve been looking for. I’m playing with the ClearOS. i’m running a old dual PIII server gig ram with 4- 8gig scsi’s. Woo hoo. it was free.
i have reinstall’d , 3 times. last i made partitions for my /var and my /home.
but OS still used /. why i thought the OS would re-direct on it on is my duh.
I have not been this deep in linux sense the Maximum Linux mag and forum days!

Thanks!!

I used your method to move my whole /var directory to a different partition, everything seems to be ok. Is it safe to use same method to move my /home to a different partition as well? Thanks.

Hi Bob,

Interesting, I’ll research that more but I didn’t lose my .bash_profile, .htaccess or those infernal .DS_Store files in the move.

Everything I expect to be copied over, was.

“cp -ax *” will not copy all files. ‘Hidden’ files (start with a dot) do not get copied.

Dah. Optimum Online Boost lets you run your own servers. Regular OO doesn't. Time to get off that crappy FiOS and away from Verizon, Martin.
