Okay, so sometimes you need a refresher on how to do something.<\/p>\n
Let’s say, for example, that you have some filesystems that look something like this<\/p>\n
\/dev\/hda1 –> \/boot
\n\/dev\/hda2 –> \/
\n\/dev\/hda3 –> swap
\n\/dev\/hda4 –> \/logs<\/p>\n
You’ve noticed that your \/ partition is filling up rather quickly as you didn’t allocate enough space to it for the OS and the user files or applications. What do you do? Add another drive?<\/p>\n
Well, let’s also say that you have allocate 9GB to root, 2GB to swap and 20GB to logs….but you have a 120GB hard drive. You obviously have a ton of space that you aren’t using. Here’s what I’d do.<\/p>\n
1: Copy all of the files in \/logs to another PC\/server
\n2: fdisk \/dev\/hda and remove hda4
\n3: in fdisk, create a new extended filesystem
\n4: reboot to recognize the new extended filesystem (\/dev\/hda4)
\n5: fdisk and create 2 logical partitions, one for \/test (example) and one for your old \/logs filesystem
\n6: reboot
\n7: mkfs -t ext3 (or ext2, reiser..whatever) \/dev\/hda5 and \/dev\/hda6
\n8: mount \/dev\/hda5 \/test && mount \/dev\/hda6 \/logs
\n9: copy your logs from your pc\/server to the machine where you created the new filesystems
\n10: EDIT \/etc\/fstab so that it’ll mount after a reboot.<\/p>\n
Just had to do this. It works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
