using SunOS 5.8 on unix sparc.   have mountpoints  /opt and  /mssc and want 
to
move everything from /opt to /mssc to an lofs off a directory in /mssc


1. Create a new directory under /mssc:
% mkdir /mssc/opt/home/apps"

2. Copy everything from old location to the new directory maintian
persmissions:
% cp -rp /opt/home/apps /mssc/opt/home/apps"

3. Change ownership on all files and subfolders:
% chown -R coopcomp:coopcomp /mssc/opt/home/apps"

4. Rename old directory assigning it a different name:
% mv /opt/home/apps /opt/home/apps_old"

5. Create lofs mount of /mssc/opt/home/apps on /opt/home/apps by following
these steps:
A. Add the following entry to the end of /etc/vfstab file:
/mssc/opt/home/apps - /opt/home/apps lofs - yes -

B. Execute mountall command for lofs file system type to mount this
new mount point:
% mountall -F lofs"

is this all we need?
