I really screwed something up! Date: 31 Jan 1996 18:21:48 GMT Organization: University of California, Santa Barbara Lines: 17 Message-ID: <4eobvs$fpt@ucsbuxb.ucsb.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: beauty.mcl.ucsb.edu Okay, here's what I did.. I have a 2.0.5 box and want to upgrade to 2.1.0. However, the 2.0.5 is a production machine so I created a new box, got 2.1.0 on it and mounted all filesystems from the 2.0.5 machine. I copied over /home and /usr/local. Then I copied over /etc. Here's where the mistake happened, I suppose. my passwd and master.passwd file do not work now. I can't log in. WHAT DO I DO? am I screwed? Also, how do add hard drives afterwards? I mean, I want to put a new hard drive in and make that hard drive be /usr/local since it is my biggest filesystem. How would I go about doing that? I thought about moving /usr/local to /usr/oldlocal, then creating the new filesystem as /usr/local and copying everything over. Is that the best way? Loren
