I have a Ubuntu server 12.04 with ispconfig 3 installed. Is there a way to enlarge my HD space? I have about 150GB now but would like to enlarge it by 150GB. How can I do this without reinstalling the server? Tnx in advance, Rudolf.
"Enlarging your hdd" isn't very clear, but I assume that you meant re-sizing one or more of your partitions. If so: To do this without destroying the data currently installed on the system, you can use gparted. Download a livecd iso from http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php and create a bootable disc/usb and follow the instructions.
Do you have room for more hard drive space? And are you using LVM? If using LVM and can add a hard drive 1) insert new hard drive 2) add it as a PV, expand your VG, expand your LV, expand your fs If not using LVM and can add a hard drive 1) insert new hard drive 2) find filesystem you can move off (e.g. /home) 3) add new hard drive as /home2 4) mv /home/* /home2/* 5) umount /home (if it is a separate mount point) 6) mount new disk as home If cannot add new hard drive (LVM or not) 1) backup 2) use clonezilla and clone your machine to a usb drive 3) buy bigger hard drive 4) insert bigger hard drive 5) use clonezilla and restore your machine to new big hard drive Just some ideas and general outline.
