Only if you're running LVM (and even then it's not as straightforward as I'd like). Otherwise it's a real PITA. > for some reason when I installed etch quite a while ago in my > fairly successful attempt at running a webserver it made /var only 2.8 > gig and made /home 280 something gig. > now I want /var to be say 200 gig, and /home alot smaller..... for > obvious reasons. It's not obvious, but I'm going to guess you have your web server (and maybe its log files) on /var and that's what's eating the space. When I configure up apache I tend to set it to use vhosts under /home/www. So I have /home/www/_default_/ (which is really a placeholder for a vhost that does a redirect to http://www.roaima.co.uk/), /home/www/www.roaima.co.uk/, /home/www/mail.roaima.co.uk/ and so on. Further, within each vhost directory I have docroot and logs. Appropriate Docroot and Log entries in /etc/apache/sites-enabled/* complete the picture, and it leaves /var/www pretty much untouched. (I use Alias directives to link back into /var/www/* as and when necessary.) Hope that helps, Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
