    Dear list,

    I'm running Solaris 8/SPARC.

    I plan to move /var to another disk since it's too small now, but am not
    sure about /var/ld/ld.config. It seemed all processes are using the file
    by memory mapping (fuser shows m flags for all).

    Assuming all other files are safely moved already, could someone tell me
    if it'd be safe to

    1. mv /var/ld /new/disk
    2. ln -s /new/disk/ld /var

    without going into single user mode, without rebooting, and without
    restarting all processes.

    What is the minimum disruption it takes to change the ld.config?

    I know inodes do not change with mv but I'm not sure if it will create a
    problem. (Will the file descriptor remain the same after the file is moved
    and linked? If it's changed, will it cause problem with memory mapped
    contents?)

    I'd also appreciate any tips about whether crle can do anything regarding
    this problem.

    Thanks.
