change/modify filesys dirs to other partitions
Hi all,
I am using Fedora to learn Linux admin.
I am still in the early early stages I believe, but I read that I can set my file sys dirs as /var, /home, /usr... i can even move them to another partition to be safe from the system crashes... I just dont know how...
can anyone just stop my curiosity by telling me even tips and I will follow them till I reach?

If you have room on your hard disk, you can copy the folders to the free partitions, then change the lines in fstab that point to those folders, and point them to the new partition. This will mount these folders as the computer boots up. Linux looks at everything as a file/folder. Moving that file/folder is as easy as changing how it's pointed to in fstab.
Try looking at "man fstab" to see how it works
