My setup requires that some of my /etc files reside on a separate partition. For this purpose I've created a softlink:ls -li /etc/group956 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May  7 15:48 /etc/group -> /var/common/etc/groupls -li /var/common/etc/group3145744 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 668 May 11 11:02 /var/common/etc/groupMy problem is when I try to execute commands using these files:groupadd foogroupadd: failure while writing changes to /etc/groupstrace reports:rename(/etc/group+, /var/common/etc/group) = -1 EXDEV (Invalid cross-device link)write(2, groupadd: failure while writing ..., 54groupadd: failure while writing changes to /etc/group) = 54Any ideas how I can get groupadd to work?
