Dear all,
I am having this problem, my harddrive got full
so i added another one to my machine. Now i don't know how to move my
/home /var to the new drive. Can someone guide me, i just made the
partitions using fdisk.
Thanks.
What I do
normally is:
# mkdir <newdrive>/var
# mv /home/var
/home/var.old
# ln -s <newdrive>/var/home/var
# cd /home/var
#
find . | cpio -dump <newdrive>/var
// you could also use tar nowadays
for it
# reboot // because of open file descriptors of
/home/var
// then
// make a spare backup of /home/var.old, one never
knows
# cd /home
# rm -rf var.old
// it should work
now
