I'm quite lazy and use Gparted to do this stuff. You can install it by
doing yum install gparted. You can then see your disks and partitions
and create and label /home on your free 4TB partition. Then edit
/etc/fstab. Let us know if you need further help!

Hi James Holland,
Thank you so much for email
Could you please tell me how I will see that 4TB is free.
As I have 12x1TB disk mounted as a single disk. Out of 12TB I have used
8TB as /export,
Thank you
With Best Regards

So, just mount your 4TB on /home. Stick it in the fstab as LABEL=/home
/home ext3 defaults 1 2

Dear Sunil Sir,
Here are answers to your questions:-
1. DO an entry in /etc/fsab for /home like the
following, but
make sure where it is actually mounted:-
# cat /etc/fstab
LABEL=//ext3defaults1 1
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /homeext3defaults,usrquota1 2
LABEL=/home/homeext3defaults1 2
LABEL=/boot/bootext3defaults1 2
tmpfs/dev/shmtmpfsdefaults0 0
devpts/dev/ptsdevptsgid=5,mode=6200 0
sysfs/syssysfsdefaults0 0
proc/procprocdefaults0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda5swapswapdefaults0
# mount –o remount /home
# quotacheck –a /home (It will create a database file
aquota.user at /home)
# quotaon /home (means we have applied quota on /home)
# edquota –u username (to apply quota on a particular user).
# edquota sunil
File Systemblockssofthardinodessofthard
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00721000000001000000001800
# edquota –t(To apply grace period)
Filesystemblock grace periodinode grace period
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol007 days7 days
2. Mount the 4TB free space in some mount point and then
create
ext3 file system in it using fdisk or
any other disk management tool.

Hi,
Two Questions:
1. I would like to give specific disk space to users
but I
don't have /home in /etc/fstab. I will appreciate if
some
one will suggest me how to do disk quota management.
2. During SL5.5 installation I used 8TB disk space
and kept
the 4TB disk space free, Now I want to use this 4TB as
scratch, how will I do that.
Thank you
With Best Regards
sunil
