Hi, My box have two disks. Disk one: most of the system. Disk two: /usr. Running out of space while installing ports, I moved parts of /usr to disk one. It did work! But I run out of space once again. So I moved /home/my dir also to disk one. Of course I sym-linked it all. I discovered that I lost permissions, of course, while moving it all as a su. I had to change owner to dir:s and files. Even .files of my home dir. Now, trying to start e.g. netscape or xfmail, it doesn't work. The programs doesn't have permission to access e.g. /home/my dir .xfmail to make a special file that xfmail needs. It all worked before I moved it. What was I doing wrong here? Must I chown to all Afterstep stuff as well? I noticed /home is a link to /usr/home (on the second disk) wich I have linked to /twusr/home on the first disk. Isn't possible to have a link to a link to a place? Well, I'm confused. Thomas To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
