moving some directories to the New partition but still preserving
the links 2005-02-23 - By bj

Hi !
I have Red Hat 8 on a intel P 4 machine with 512 MB memory .
Thanks to all , I was able to partition my 60 GB hard drive creating
extended drives .
Now I want to move some of directories under my root to my extended
partition that has already been formatted with mkfs.ext3.
I have got the procedure to move /tmp and /var to their own shared
partition .
I want to move /usr , /applications , /backup , /home , misc , /proc , /tmp
.
I want to mount /dev/hda5 as /usr & /dev/hda6 as /home or what ever most
suitable .
But my greatest worry is how to make sure that the previously installed
applications work after the move .
How to preserve the symbolic & hard links as files are moved across
different partitions.
Please advice if it is possible to do a successful move of some of the
directories under / and still preserve the links and make the applications
work.
Thanks in advance ,
cheers,
bj
My root directory structure is as ffs :-
applications
