Hello everybody, I'm using ISPConfig 3.0.5.3 and everything is fine. But there is one question I'm trying to figure out all the time: how can I merge my partition on Debian Wheezy? I got 2x 3TB HDDs (the second one is for the Software-RAID) I used the default setup provided by hetzner-setup in the past and never realized that I'm giving away that huge amount of space, cause /home has 1.7 TB unused space. Actually / has enough space though but I would like to resize the / partition and add 1.5TB of that 1.7TB free space. This is a production server with paying customers. Is there any bulletproof tutorial to merge /dev/md3 (eg /home, size 1.7TB) and "get" 1.5TB of it and add this to rootfs (eg /)? /home is unused and there is nothing inside. I have no physical access to the machine but I could boot a rescue image. Any help would be appreciated. Nice Regards Hirbod System, Type, Size, In use, available, used in %, mounted under rootfs rootfs 1016G 197G 769G 21% / udev devtmpfs 10M 0 10M 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 1.6G 324K 1.6G 1% /run /dev/disk/by-uuid/bd0fe5c8-7cdf-45cc-a365-3b049bfc112d ext4 1016G 197G 769G 21% / tmpfs tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs tmpfs 4.8G 0 4.8G 0% /run/shm /dev/md1 ext3 496M 53M 418M 12% /boot /dev/md3 ext4 1.8T 197M 1.7T 1% /home
Hi srijan, thanks for your respond. By the way: what happened with df: `/var/www/clients/client1/web1/log/raumwerk.dev (deleted)': No such file or directory this was a subdomain but I deleted it directly after creation, seems to cause errors. My syslog is full of it.
Hi For RAID size change you can follow the guide. Note: the guide is for software RAID, may be it will be helpful to you. Br// Srijan
Hi, thanks for your respond. I read trough this howto but I don't really get the point of how to shrink /home (ext4) from 1.7TB to 1.5TB and enlarge / (rootfs) with 1.5TB. Does this work with ext4 / rootfs and is this really bulletproof? It's a production system and I'm really scared to mess up something.
Personally, I wont change the size of the partitions on a live system. It might work, but there is still a risk to loose datawhy dont you just move either the website data (/var/www) or the mail data (/var/vmail) to your home partition? You can even move both, when you use bind mounts: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=311660&postcount=36
Hi Till, I've already read your howto about mounting. But it won't change anything. / has 1.5TB and /home has 1.5TB. I just won't to waste such an amount of freespace. But maybe I will mount /var/vmail (and if possible) the MySQL Databases to share the free space more efficient. Is it possible to move the databases to /home as well? Regards Hirbod
