help needed: moveing home directories

[eshlomi]

Hi All,

I'm a linux newbe and I need help!.
I have a 2 Fedora servers, ser1 running FC4 and serv2 running FC8.
Current status:
1. serv2 /home directory is mounted to serv1/home (I have lots of users there ...)
2. I had run out HD space on serv1 so I had installed a 1TB HD on serv2.
3. serv2 polls users info (pass etc) from serv1

I want to move the /home directories from serv1 to serv2.
What is the best way to do this?


Thanks for helping !!!

If this is an active account then first I'd set up rsync to copy the user directories you want on serv2/home from serv1 to serv2. Then set up those user accounts to use serv2/home for their home directories. The next time they log in, they will go to serv2/home. After a few days, you should be able to shut down rsync and remove the old data from serv1/home.
