Hi all;
Ok i'm working on this netra here.
There are a couple of annoying things about these things and one of em is
that you can only have a single drive on either IDE controller (masters only
no slaves allowed).
So my goal was to have two 20g drives on this machine one of them being
dedicated to /usr/local
Since I can only have one single HDD, hooked up during install everything
gets installed on a single drive.
I'm wondering if it is possible to move /usr/local to the second drive in
some post installation method,
Once i have the disk prepared with a ufs file system, is it just as simple
as editing /etc/fstab and moving it over. Or is it slightly more
complicated since /usr/local has important stuff in it.
I'm doing this from a fresh install, so no extra packages are being added
yet.
Thanks
Gary
