My 9GB harddrive is finally full. So I just added 2 more 9G's to take
some of the load. Since /home was a seperate partition, I didn't have a
problem moving /home to a new harddrive. The problem is moving /usr.
/dev/sda was partitioned as:
/dev/sda1 23M 2.9M 19M 13% /boot
/dev/sda3 1011M 952M 7.5M 99% /home
/dev/sda4 7.2G 5.8G 1.0G 85% /
/etc/fstab being:
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda3 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda4 / ext2 defaults 1 1
After adding the 2 new drives, I rebooted single user, mounted /dev/sdb1
to /mnt/cdrom, then just did a cp -a to each of the directories in home
to the new drive. I changed /etc/fstab to mount the new drive under the
old name, rebooted, and wallah!
now it's set up as:
/dev/sda4 7.2G 5.8G 1.0G 85% /
/dev/sda1 23M 2.9M 19M 13% /boot
/dev/sdb1 8.3G 952M 7.0G 12% /home
with /etc/fstab such as:
/dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/sdb1 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
Doing a `du / | sort -n` I find that /usr is the largest directory on
/dev/sda4
I'd like to move /usr (or at least /usr/local) to /dev/sdc1 (another 9G
drive). However, since this is on the same partiotion as /, I don't
really know how to do it.
I'd also like to be able reclame the gig of space that was my /home
partition. Any tips would be appreciated. :)
