I'd start by using find to list all the symlinks that pointed to > another device --snip-- Maybe I'm missing something here, but why would it matter? i.e. If a symlink points to /usr/bin/gcc-3.2, and you copy it somewhere else, it'll still point to /usr/bin/gcc-3.2 and if it points to just gcc-3.2 it'll continue to point to gcc-3.2 in the current directory, wherever that happens to be. So unless you're copying / to /backup or some other silly thing, this should be ok, right? Or am I missing some of the finer points of multiple mounts throughout the filesystem? -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
