I am filling up / with stuff...so much so that the system is crashing and rebooting(!) when I print. Problem seems to be that /usr directory is located on the / filesystem when I have a /usr filesystem that has gobs of space but not much on it. I want to move the /usr directory contents over and link the /usr directory on the / filesystem to the /usr filesystem but not exactly sure how to do it (after reading the docs) without messing things up. Not sure if I need to soft link or hard link...etc. thanks, karl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
