Actually, everything is the same as far as mounting and all.
The new root drive is the same as the old one in size, but I'm using
what appears to be a more reliable IBM drive instead of the Seagate drive I had
in previously.

Only problem is my mailboxes are readonly now.  I created a new user, pkhoury2
and mail works fine with that.  How do I fix my boxes?  I honestly don't know where
the mail is stored at for sims (I thought it was somewhere under /var but I guess not).
