One day I decided to copy my / partition onto a different drive.
Amazingly enough, cp worked and everything seemed to function okay after
rebooting. I also did a "make world" to fix any problems this may have
created for me.
There is no real problem except for the files in my /stand directory are
huge. A ls -l in /stand gives results like this:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 chmod
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 chown
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root bin 802816 Nov 18 1995 cksum
And a du /stand gives this:
204 /stand/help
13 /stand/etc
2 /stand/info/proflibs
5 /stand/info/des
2 /stand/info/games
2 /stand/info/manpages
3 /stand/info/bin
2 /stand/info/dict
2 /stand/info/info
18 /stand/info/src
37 /stand/info
43884 /stand
This isn't a real problem, but I sure could use those extra 40 megs it has
claimed.
What I was woundering was, what would happen if I were just to delete
those files in /stand? Or, could I delete them and then link then back to
the appropriate files with ln? I guess, I really just do not know what
signifiance these files in /stand have, and wanted to make sure I don't
try to do anything which could bring my system down.
Thanks!
