The **actual** diskhog folder must be in /dbdata with the symlink in /home, since dbdata has the bigger available space. Hence: ln -s /dbdata/diskhog /home/diskhog
Similarly, I've done this to several of my users: I have an entire 40GB harddisk partitioned for /home, but was recently always nearing 99% because of a few users, so I placed these users in their respective lvm partitions (in another set of hdd's, of course). So I have these volumes mounted in my fstab as: /dev/hdd1 /home /dev/vg00/biguser1 /home/biguser1 /dev/vg00/biguser2 /home/biguser2 I've had the added benefit of capping the disk usage of these users. --- mike t. ----- Original Message ---- From: jan gestre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Technical Discussion List <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 7:24:52 AM Subject: Re: [plug] resizing an ext3 partition On 9/16/07, Michael Tinsay <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You could just symlink the fast growing /home subfolders.
