Evening Nikhil,
I am interested in increasing the /var partition on my harddrive. It is only 250 Mb currently and I would like to allocate more space to this partition.
The partitions are as follows :
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted On /dev/hda2 110G 4.8G 100G 5% / /dev/hda1 99M 9.2M 85M 10% /boot none 109M 0 109M 0% /dev/shm
<snip> Partition is a portion of the disk reserved for a specific file system and function.
/dev/hda2 / ( this is root partition. ) /dev/hda1 /boot ( this is boot partition. ) none /dev/shm ( this is swap partition. )
So now ur "/var" directory is on "/" ( root partition ). So in this case if u want to put "/var" on specific partition, then U should have space more space left on ur hda disk or add aditional disk. Create partition and mount it to specific place and copy the entire "/var" directory data to mounted partition and then make the appro. changes in "/etc/fstab" file to reflect. U r set to go now :-)
Reagrds, Animesh.
Can someone suggest how to go about it.
Thanks Nikhil
