I have almost run out of room on my /var partition.  I installed a new disk, 
mounted and formated it as /var1.  I dropped to run level one, backed up var 
to tape, rolled it out to the new disk.  All permissions are correct and so 
forth.

I cannot umount the var partition.  I tried booting with a floppy, and some 
other things, but no luck.  I tried a few variations in the fstab, but no 
luck.  It still insists it has files in use.

I obviously need to do a mv of var1 to var, but I am missing something in my 
logic here.


any solutions

thanks
CS
