Joan, very motherly :-) There are a couple of problems here. 1. /dev/hda2 and /dev/hdb1 are both mounted as root. Not kosher. Never heard of mounting the same partition twice. I'm scared. Also, look at hdb4. That one is mounted *3* times! Certainly, this machine is a candidate for a data-wipe and a reload. 2. "John" is flying on a wrong premise. He thinks that he can remount a directory on a different partition. Bzzzt. You can mount the partition on a different directory. But if you do, the content of the partition is unchanged. =>From: "John" <[email protected]> => =>> Your right...
