Hey everyone: I've got some unformatted disk space and I'd like to use it to make /var bigger. This is my existing system:
htdig@debian:/$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 464M 27M 413M 7% / /dev/hda3 4.6G 1.6G 2.8G 37% /home /dev/hda5 2.3G 1.2G 1023M 55% /usr /dev/hda6 464M 396M 44M 91% /var /dev/hda7 2.8G 46M 2.6G 2% /usr/local /dev/hda9 46M 60K 44M 1% /tmp I also have a windows partition (or two) with approximately 8Gb available. I was thinking of giving /var 2.6Gb total (adding 2Gb). This is a laptop so the log files aren't critical for anything fun like web servers. I don't leave my mail in /var/mail (I move it over to my home directory). I'm currently running Woody (unstable). 1. What do I need to do before I add the extra disk space? I can throw the entire current partition onto a cdrom as a backup. Is there anything else I need to do? 2. How do I actually resize a partition? Is "parted" a good package? http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/parted.html 3. Without meaning to start a huge debate, is my current space allocation ok? I'm using my laptop as a development box. It has apache, mysql, open office, a bunch of browsers and vim. Really, what else does a girl need? ;) thanks! emma :) -- Emma Jane Hogbin [[ 416 417 2868 ][ www.xtrinsic.com ]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
