So, you are not just moving /usr /var and /home but also the rest of |
| 17 |
root? In that case it is best to do something like |
| 18 |
mount --bind / /mnt/real_root |
| 19 |
cp -a /mnt/real_root/* /mnt/new_root |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
mount --bind binds only the root file system, not any other or temporary |
| 22 |
file systems mounted on top of it (like udev, /dev/pts, etc.). That |
| 23 |
allows you to copy your static /dev file system (as created by untaring |
| 24 |
the stage3). |
