Well, you have to mount it somewhere to copy /usr to it, and you'll presumably look at the result, so it's a self-validating process. >In what script and where in the script should I mount the device on /usr in >/etc/rc.d >(I have Redhat 4.1) Dunno about Red Hat specifically, but you should have a file /etc/fstab which is a table for devices, mount points and options. You should be able to substitute the new device for the old. You shouldn't need to change any of the scripts in /etc/rc.d. Just edit /etc/fstab and reboot. --Mike
