Lines: 26 We are attempting to add an additional hard disk to our system. We currently have a Seagate ST4096 drive, and are going to add a Miniscribe 3085. I understand about formating, and setting up the basic filesystems. What is confusing is when we go to specify what areas will be on the new drive and the best way to implement. We use CTar for backup purposes. What we want to be able to do, is to move /u /wp (WordPerfect areas) and /usr/spool/news areas to the new drive and allocate space for them. How do we specify these areas correctly, and how do we move files over easily. I understand that if we just mount the new areas, the old ones will just disappear from active use, but still be there. We want to completely replace them. We have been through the manuals many times, and have not found any useful information yet. If there is enough interest I will summarize and post. Thanks in advance for any assitance. ... uunet!consult!bob ... . -- .. Computer Consulting Service .. Bob Willey .. .. P.O. Drawer 1690 .. uunet!consult!bob .. .. Easton, Maryland 21601 ..
