cd /drive0/drive1/fids
mv * /drive0/fids
cd /drive0
rm -rf drive1

This works better if I mount the disk read/write

It is moving the files now. Is this just rearranging directory structure, or is it actually copying/deleting all the files? I hope this doesn't take another three hours...

Well, obviously it won't, because it is done now.

At this point, all I should have to do is change back to read-only, exit the command shell, fire up emplode and force a re-synch to rebuild the database. Right?
