Hi there, I have four LVMs on top of a RAID 1, like this: Code: Dateisystem 1K‐Blöcke Benutzt Verfügbar Ben% Eingehängt auf /dev/mapper/vg0-root 31209468 20995024 8641580 71% / tmpfs 4095408 0 4095408 0% /lib/init/rw udev 4089952 176 4089776 1% /dev tmpfs 4095408 0 4095408 0% /dev/shm /dev/md0 254699 20116 221431 9% /boot /dev/mapper/vg0-lv1 104031520 192248 98596392 1% /lv1 /dev/mapper/vg0-lv2 104031520 192248 98596392 1% /lv2 /dev/mapper/vg0-lv3 486220392 8893844 452822436 2% /lv3 As / is getting filled up and I need more space in the future, I'd like to move /var to /lv1. I thought I'll boot into my rescue system, mount / and /lv1, them move the contents of folder /var into /lv1 (currently empty) - and then I'd need the right /ec/fstab changes in order to make the quota functioning again. I'm not sure about the mount options - plus it's a production server... All the lv's are on top of a RAID1 /dev/md1 Any hints? Added question: Will the links be preserved when I move stuff? Options for moving? rsync -a ?
When you are in the rescue system, copy everything from /var 7o /lv1: Code: cp -pfr /var/* /lv1/ Rename /var to something else and /lv1 to /var: Code: mv /var /var_orig mv /lv1 /var Then adjust your /etc/fstab. Mount options should probably be the same as for /.
Danke erst mal. Soweit alles verstanden, aber wenn ich im Rescue-System (Hetzner) im / - Filesystem den Ordner /lv1 in (das neue) /var umbenenne, dann hat doch das LVM-System noch nicht verstanden, dass es jetzt nicht auf /lv1 sondern auf /var mounten soll? Wie vermeide ich da Unsinn? Danke schon mal...
Oh, I'm sorry for switching into German... Thanks, I see.. I overlooked that the mounting command for the logical volume is in /etc/fstab, too.. my bad. Thanks for answering!
