I am using CentOS 5.8 x64bit
I have all my users directories in the /home/ directory, the drive which CentOS is installed along with /home is on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup01-LogVol00
And its getting full I have 12% left. I predict that it will be full within 2 months. So what I was thinking was adding 1TB drive to the server and then remounting /home onto the new drive e.g
/dev/sdd1 917G 1G 916G 1% /home
But I'm running into a few snags here.
Do you think I will have to copy all the users folders onto the new drive before I edit the mount point in fstab
?
So the process might resemble this;
- Format/Partition New drive
- Mount drive under temp folder /tempfolder
- Copy contents of /home to /tempfolder
- Edit Mount to location of /home instead of /tempfolder
