Precisely Ron. But now I have added about 30Gb of data to the /home
directory that I will need to rsync to the newer disk. Ditto for about
200Gb of data in the /opt directory. The /opt directory is not near as
dynamic in content as /home of course, but it has most of the stuff for my
web page on it, something I haven't yet verified is working. Probably
tomorrow.
Thanks.
