[comp.unix.questions] QUESTIONS - about disk partitioning & client /home/export

Greetings All - 

	I have a few questions that I hope you can answer for me- 

QUESTION #1 - I currently have 2 327MB disks and am adding a 1GB disk to the
	      system.  I want to move sd2 /home to sd0 /home.  But 
              /home/export files live there..  If I move them what effect
	      does that have on the client system AND is there a easy way to
	      ensure that the effects are fixable ????  I have looked in the
	      manual and can't find anything there ..  Would I have to re-
	      install the client ..??? 

QUESTION #1A - On sd6 I currently have /usr I want to repartition sd2 so
	       that I have /usr/local and /usr/src - After partitioning the
	       disk is TAR the best thing to use for moving /local and /src
	       from sd6 to sd2 ???

QUESTION #2 - We ordered a few IPCs with 207MB disks..  I would like to set
	      them up to boot off the server and have all files on server 
	      except for SWAP and local temp space which I want to set up
	      on their local disk --  Is this doable ???  AGAIN the manuals
	      are not clear on this point..

I thanks you all for your comments and instructions -  If there is interest I 
will post a summary   

		Susanne ;-)
