Help me on moving /var folder

[principino1984]

Hi guys,

I have to move my /var directory in /home/var

It this procedure right?

cp -a /var /home/

mount –bind /home/var /var

rm -r -f /var


and then I have to edit my fstab adding this:

/home/var /var none bind 0 0



Is this the right procedure to move /var folder without having to reboot my system?

Thanks
Marco

mv /var /home/var

or

cp -rfp /var /home/var
rm -rf /var
ln -s /home/var /var

Then remove entry from /etc/fstab

I don't have to set anything in fstab with "ln" ?

you would remove /var from /etc/fstab

I don't have anything now on fstab

The /Var folder is in my root. I thought to write down a line in my fstab...but what I get is that with the ln command I don't need to set anything in fstab..right?
