Easier than that, you make a new partition somewhere, copy (preserving all
the permissions) local (or what ever it is), make the entry in the
/etc/fstab , delete the directory from its current location, and mount the
partition as per the fstab entry. Read the appropriate man pages (fstab,
cp, etc). I did this in reverse and it seemed to work just fine (the disk
with /var on it was failing).
