Is it possible to move a folder to a new partition
 

I have set up slack10.2 on 1 partition but i was thinking of moving /var onto another partiton, is there an easy way of doing this without reinstalling?

unmount the partition, make sure the other partition is ready with a filesystem, edit your /etc/fstab file to reflect what partition of the drive /var is going to be located, and re-mount.

but of course there is stuff in /var that you'll want, so just mount the new (and/or existing) partition as whatever cp -R /var /newpartition/ and then follow the steps above.

I wrote that quick, but I dont' think I missed anything. I'm sure someone will correct me if so.

thanks, i will give that a try tonight :)

and also you can delete the stuff in the old place when you are done
