I don't think there is a neeed to boot from CD for that. Just copy /usr (or |
| 17 |
whatever directory you like) to its new destination, rename /usr and create |
| 18 |
the symlink instantly after that: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
cp -pr /usr /newdrive/ |
| 21 |
mv /usr /usr.old && /usr.old/bin/ln -s /newdrive/usr / |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
This makes /usr unavailable for a fraction of seconds only. Programs |
| 24 |
currently using files in /usr should not be affected, when the files are |
| 25 |
still open it should not matter if they are renamed as long as they stay on |
| 26 |
the same partition. |
