RE: I need some help



Hi Andrew,

 I would try moving /usr (mv /usr /home/Andrew) onto a partition that isn't
full. Then edit the /etc/fstab file...Reboot, and then move it back into
root directory.(mv /home/Andrew/usr /)


 Look into it, I think you'll find all the answers in the FSTAB man page.

Well, I've got a problem.  I have two hard drives.  I'm testing this on an
old machine so I can already hear your laughter as I tell you the sizes of
these hard drives.  Anyway, there are two of them, wd0 & wd1.  The first is
a 400mb Maxtor and the second is a 200mb Maxtor.  The first drive I had
labeled as the "a" partition, type 4.2bsd, the second hard drive has 2
partitions also, "a" which is about 140mb type 4.2bsd, and the second takes
up the remainder is the swap space.  However, I inadvertently, setup the
mountpoint for the first partition on the second drive as /usr.  Well, it's
full.  How do I move the contents from that drive to the other, and make
everything work, without have to reinstall OpenBSD.  Something that really
don't want to do, as I ended up doing it via ftp.  It worked alright, but
I'd rather not go through it again. 
HELP ME PLEASE
