I recently made a new ispconfig installation running debian squeeze on a vm, inside virtualbox Ubuntu. Foolishly, i made the hard disk way too small at only 10gb. I now have the dilemma whether to attempt to increase the size of the existing hard disk or simply attach a new disk, copy the contents of /var to it and then mount it over the old /var. Would this even work? Any ideas,suggestions, tutorials appreciated.. Thanks
I don't think it should raise any problems if you attach a new disk and mount it as /var Should not make any difference for the linux system whether the /var is on the root partition or on a separate one.
Yes, thank you. I did try attaching a new drive, copying the old var directory abs remounting it over the old. I rebooted and it didn't go as planned. Are the databases also kept in this location? Possibly just plastering a duplicate set of data over the active data wouldn't go so well?
