There are several hints in that topic. |
| 8 |
I did move my /usr to a new partition, so I'ld say: |
| 9 |
1. create and format your new partition; |
| 10 |
2. mount your new partition in /mnt/whatever; |
| 11 |
3. copy the content of your /usr into this partition by: |
| 12 |
cp -a /usr/* /mnt/whatever (the "-a" option is important; look at man |
| 13 |
cp); |
| 14 |
4. reboot frome a livecd; |
| 15 |
5. mount your root filesystem and edit /etc/fstab: |
| 16 |
/dev/hdXY /usr etc. |
| 17 |
6. reboot from the hard disk to be sure that your new partition is well |
| 18 |
mounted and works; run "mount" to check that /usr is on your new |
| 19 |
partition; test this in other ways to be really sure ;-) |
| 20 |
7. reboot again from a live cd; |
| 21 |
8. mount your root filesystem in /mnt/something; |
| 22 |
9. delete the old /usr directory to free the unused space: |
| 23 |
cd /mnt/something/usr |
| 24 |
rm -rf * |
| 25 |
NB: do not delete /usr itself, just its contents, as /usr is the mount |
| 26 |
point for the new partition; |
| 27 |
10. cross your fingers and reboot from the hard disk ;-) |
