These are in what Konqueror shows as the "core" of the file system. There is just one trouble, i find that the files are living in the same partition as /home which lives in a pathetic 20gig partition. I found this because i filled the partition last night while FTPing stuff from another machine, and discovered that moving files to /inhouse left the partition still too full to FTP. (pure-ftp server pulls the plug at 90%) 2 questions really If i got another HDD how would i move the /home directory so it stores its files on the new drive? How do i move /inhouse and /readonly to partitions other than the 20 gig partition used by the /home directory? My work around has been to create a "stash" directory within /user which shares a 45gig partition with other system files. This however seems needlessly messy. .Clueless	Clueless (181)
