I wholeheartedly agree with Luke. I am often reorganizing and moving partitions, and cp -ax is simple and always works just fine. Two things to watch out for: 1. Don't forget the "x" in "cp -ax" when you're copying your root partition :) 2. If you're using lilo and copying /, don't forget to run lilo (of course I've never forgotten to run lilo myself, you understand) 3. Remember to update your fstab (and keep a backup copy just in case you make a mistake, not that I ever screw it up) -- ....................paul Guy: "Would you like to dance?"
