Hi,
I tried to expand /usr, and /var, by mount --bind to a free partition. This does not take the message away.. for some reason /var is spammed full with zypp stuf and xml-files, which are, imho unnessesary.(only, i do not know what i can throw away safely..)
How can i achieve, that there is clear, that there is more space available at the other location?
I did try to add the mounts to /etc/fstab by /dev/hdd7/usr
/dev/hda6/spare/usr bind defaults 0 0, but i get the answer:
tribal-sfn2:/home/monkey9 # /dev/hdd7/usr /dev/hda6/spare/usr bind defaults 0 0 bash: /dev/hdd7/usr: Niet een map tribal-sfn2:/home/monkey9 #
Can someone give me 'the golden tip' on how to expand a run out of space partition?
please?
;-)
It's hard to tell without knowing usage. In the system with single used partition for all directories, I used to switch to runlevel 1 nad then: mkdir /mnt/hdd7 mount -t auto /dev/hdd7 /mnt/hdd7 copy /usr /mnt/hdd7 umount /mnt/hdd7 mv /usr /usr1 mount -t auto /dev/hda7 /usr Check that it works. init 5 Put in /etc/fstab /dev/hdd7 /usr auto defaults 0 0 Reboot to see that it is all OK and remove /usr1. Instead of "auto" you can put actual file system on /dev/hdd7. -- Regards, Rajko. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
