Or to create a submount under /usr, and move some parts (like /usr/src and /usr/obj) onto the other drive. The last method is probably the only one that is safe to perform without backing up /usr first. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
