First, you have to create vinum volume, for example you name it "stripe" (read vinum docs to find out how to do this) Now it resides at /dev/vinum/stripe Then, you should do newfs /dev/vinum/stripe and mount it somewhere like /mnt/new_usr now either dump /usr or tar it and then restore or untar consequently. If you choose tar do the following: tar -C /usr -cpf - . | tar -C /mnt/new_usr -xpvf - To use dump you need some additional disk space to store dump-file. So I think "tar-variant" is preffered. Now you are ready to edit your /etc/fstab. And do not forget to load vinum during start-up to make /dev/vinum/stripe visible for your system. -- Kazakov Artem OOO "CompTek" tel: +7(095) 785-2525, ext.1802 fax: +7(095) 785-2526 WWW: http://www.comptek.ru
