   Unfortunately I have to move /usr to a new partition (I started to do   
   something with GNU Radio, and urpmi has been very busy!)   
   Would someone be kind enough to cast a critical eye over the following   
   to a) make sure I'm doing the right things   
   b) suggest something I ought to do.   
   I have created a new partition, sda12, currently with mount point /newusr   
      
   This is an extract from /etc/fstab:   
   # Entry for /dev/sda9 :   
   UUID=ac5349a0-8563-4a4e-b9ad-24a316cb309c / ext4 defaults 1 1   
   # Entry for /dev/sda12   
   UUID=3cef6111-eb18-4167-8390-821e6a4c43f9 /newusr ext4 acl,relatime 1 2   
      
   I propose to do the following   
   cd /usr   
   rsync -a */ /newusr   # Keeps symlinks, times, owners, copies contents   
   of /usr   
   edit /etc/fstab:   
   UUID=3cef6111-eb18-4167-8390-821e6a4c43f9 /usr ext4 defaults 1 2   
     Reboot to Live disk   
   mount /dev/sd9 /mnt/usr   
      
      
   Reboot to 2011 with fingers crossed.   
      
   Thanks for your comments.
