Hi, Can someone please advise if this will break ISPConfig? Install new hard drive, create LVM partition, mount /home on new drive, mv /var/www /home, and put a symbolic link for www in /var. I'm having problems with ISPConfig after doing this. Debian 7.6, Apache2, ISPConfig 3.0.5.3. Thank you for your help.
Hi. I followed the above guide but there has to be something that I am missing. It seems that both disks (/dev/sda2 and /dev/md127 in my case) are filling with data. What I wanted to do was to place the /var/www directory on a seperate disk (/dev/md127) without affecting ISPConfig. But when checking with df it seems that both /dev/sda2 and /dev/md127 are growing, and the first one is pretty small. Thanks in advance for your advise. Spyros
You give precious little information. What do Code: df -hT , Code: sudo fdisk -l , and Code: cat /etc/fstab show?

The df output shows there is lots of free disk space on /dev/md127. Code: /dev/md127 ext4 1.8T 87G 1.7T 5% /raidata There is 5 % used space and 1.7 Terabytes free. So that is not filling with data, at least not yet. On the other hand, /dev/sda2 is 88 % full. Did you succesfully move the /var/www data from sda2 to md127? Code: /dev/sda2 ext4 69G 57G 7.9G 88% / How much is there in the directory trees? Check with du command like this: Code: du -shc /var/www du -shc /raidata/www
Thanks again Taleman. Code: root@myserver:/home/spyros# du -shc /var/www 140G /var/www 140G total Code: root@myserver:/home/spyros# du -shc /raidata/www 140G /raidata/www 140G total Pls note that the /var/www directory was empty at first place, I knew that /dev/sda2 was sort so I wanted to have ISPConfig use the /raidata/www instead. Unfortunately both grow together...
