Hello, I installed ISPConfig following the 'perfect guide' for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and everything is working great for months. Now I have a problem of space on / . There is the configuration of my server: Code: # fdisk -l WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. Disk /dev/sda: 2000.4 GB, 2000398934016 bytes 255 testine, 63 settori/tracce, 243201 cilindri, totale 3907029168 settori Unità = settori di 1 * 512 = 512 byte Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Identificativo disco: 0x00000000 Dispositivo Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 3907029167 1953514583+ ee GPT WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'!

What I got so far (asking on other forums too ) is to do as following: 0) stop apache service(useless ? ) 1) create a new directory /tmpmd3 2) backup /home on my pc (even if the data are useless for me ) 3) umount /dev/md3 and mount it on /tmpmd3 4) move /var to /tmpmd3 5) umount /dev/md3 and mount again to /var (also changing fstab file) 6) restore backup of /home 7) reboot system Do I do wrong if I do as described above ? I don't want to keep the server down for a long time and I obviously don't want to lose anything . I have a lot of emails, domains and websites on this server and I can't risk anything. So please can you let me know if this is the correct way of doing what I'd like to do ? Thank you very much in advance
An easy and safe way is this: https://www.howtoforge.com/use_moun...ctory_of_a_ispconfig_server_to_a_new_location
Thank you very much! it seems to be exactly my case. I try it asap and I'll let you know . EDIT: I followed the guide and everything went ok. Now the server is working great again! Thank you very much!
