I've searched for this already but didn't get the specific answer I'm looking for, so here goes a new post.
My daughter used to dual boot XP/Slack 9 on her laptop. She decided to do away with the dual boot and run slack 9.1 alone (she likes kopete better than trillian was her reason heh). At the end of her hard disk, I made a 1 gig partition to hold some data from XP she wanted to keep. Slack is up and running, and the win partition is now reiserfs. What I'd like to do is move /var to this partition. Is this possible to do on the /var folder? I'm asking because it's so dynamic, she has an ATI video chip and it spits out messages to the x log pretty frequently.
Here's my partition scheme
Code:
cfdisk 2.12
Disk Drive: /dev/hda
Size: 30005821440 bytes, 30.0 GB
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 3648
Name Flags Part Typ FS Type [Label] Size (MB
)-----------------------------------------------------------
hda1 Primary Linux swap 509.97
hda3 Boot Primary Linux ext2 98.7
hda4 Primary Linux ReiserFS 6999.7
hda5 Logical Linux ReiserFS 10001.9
hda6 Logical Linux ReiserFS 11342.6
hda7 Logical Linux ReiserFS 1052.8
hda1 = swap
hda3 = /boot
hda4 = /
hda5 = /usr/local
hda6 = /home
hda7 = unmounted <future /var>
any ideas/suggestions/help is appreciated
