Hi Ec, are you talking about converting a system with 1 linux partition which contains everything into a system where there is more than 1 partition (one for /var, one for /home, etc). If this is what you want, I have a suggestion. I used partd ( or you can use the qtpartd). if you want a 1000mb /home and have 1000mb free, you can shrink your 1 partition by 1000mb then use cfdisk to make that new space in a new linux fs.Then you mount your new partiton on /mnt/home and copy everything over - maybe with tar.Once that is done. move /home to /home2, change /etc/fstab to point to your new partition and reboot. -Kev On Thu, 2003-05-22 at 01:21, EC@ec.hn.org wrote: > Hi all, > > I was wondering how you could create partition or mount (not sure what's the > correct term to use) partition like /usr /var /home etc. I installed my > debian with only one partition which is '/'.
