    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.

    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...

    You have not understood what the bind mount does. It "binds" /var/www and /raidata/www together.

    Thank you Taleman for your time. I'll do my homework again.
