Hello,
When I initially installed Linux I configure the root directory
to be mounted on to /dev/hda1 and /usr/X11 on /dev/hda2
However, due to my usage (email,news,etc) hda1 is now 100%
whereas hda2 is only 30%
I was wondering if there was a way that i could move some directories
from /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda2 ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers
Jamal

In the Tips.HOWTO you can find a way to move directories across file
systems.( you can find it in comp.os.linux.answers ) Then you just have to
softlink the dirs in your root partion with the new partion
Ps: ( cd <source dir> ; tar cf - . ) | ( cd <dest dir> ; tar xvfp - )
just looked it up
1. mounting new hard drive with multiple / directories.
The easiest thing to do is probably to make symbolic links for all of the
directories you want to reside on the new drive. That way, each directory
will actually "point" to a directory on the drive. 'man ln' for more info
on symbolic links.

3. Mount an existing directory to new device
5. Floppy directory structure won't update when new floppy is mounted
6. xon/rcmd problems with Solaris 2.6
7. propagating directory perms to new files in that directory
8. Problem compiling wih gcc from SLS 1.03
9. Mounting a directory which has a mount point under it.
10. Q: local loop back mount on remote mount directory.
12. mount error: mount only root can mount /dev/cdrom on cdrom
13. NFS mount won't mount at boot, but mount -a works fine.
