Look a chapter8 /etc/fstab section it has an example there on moving /usr ... pretty much you'd just copy the /usr back to the main drive and clear out he fstab entry. Just make sure that the permissions on /usr are okay. There's probably some gui tool to do it I guess :o |

| 327841 | 2005-02-24 23:17:00 | Dont count on a GUI tool buddy Best bet is to use Knoppix Boot it and mount both drives (DONT click on the icons, it'll be Read-only) hit Ctrl + Alt + F2 to get a root prompt mount both drives as /mnt/hd*** mkdir /mnt/rootpartitionmountpoint/usr cd /mnt/usrmountpooint cp -Ruvp * /mnt/rootpartitionmountpoint/usr then edit /mnt/rootpartitionmountpoint/etc/fstab Chill. |

| 327842 | 2005-02-25 04:09:00 | What about keeping permissions | Dannz (1668) | ||
| 327843 | 2005-02-25 04:19:00 | cp -Ruvp sourcefolder/ destinationfolder/ ^^As I mentioned before... The p is for permissions :) man cp |
