Unfortunately during the install I let the installer automatically partition for me. This machine is a web server with Apache 1.3.27 and MySQL 3.23.54. Currently all the web files reside in /home/www/ which has plenty of room. However the MySQL data is on /var which is quickly running out of space. Is there a way that I can take space for the /usr partition and use it on /var? Or would it be easier (or my only option) to configure MySQL to store data on the /usr partition? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Or maybe make a link?
