Basically, I added things up, and it turned out that my /usr/spool partition was about the size I wanted my /u partition to be, and /u was about the size I wanted /usr/spool to be. These were named spool (mounted on /usr/spool) and u (mounted on /u). So, I renamed the /dev files (both b and c), yet when the filesystems come up, I still get messages like: WARNING: Mounted on ... There doesn't seem to be any functional difference that I've noted, but the naming could cause some problems. Any idea how to truly rename the partitions short of doing another install? -- Sean Fulton uunet!utoday!sean Unix Today! (516) 562-5430 **To subscribe, mail your request to: uunet!utoday!circ**
