[SOLVED]ReDirect "/usr"

Hi!
I want use a partition on another hard-drive for the «/usr». I tried to copy (cp -a /usr /mnt/sdc1 ) everything there and added to fstab for mounting on boot but getting errors on boot that something is missing.

Re: [SOLVED]ReDirect "/usr"

There is (or used to be) something in the wiki specifically about separate /usr. Maybe on the mkinitcpio page.


But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

Re: [SOLVED]ReDirect "/usr"

Also, using 'cp -a' isn't good for /usr if only because of hardlinks. I've also had issues where extended attributes weren't maintained, but that may have been PEBCAK. In any case I recommend 'rsync -HaAX'.

Re: [SOLVED]ReDirect "/usr"

I got SSD and I didn't want to reinstall arch, just moved all my apps on a partition there, but now it works, thanks, that guide on wiki really helped. I had no probles with «cp -a»  so far, but thanks for a tip.
