Hi there,

I've got a box at Servermatrix that has the default partitioning. Specifically / and /var are 256MB all on one big slice

/dev/ad0s1a 126M 113M 2.7M 98% /
/dev/ad0s1f 252M 696K 231M 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1g 72G 7.3G 59G 11% /usr
/dev/ad0s1e 252M 117M 115M 50% /var
procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc

They're going to fill up pretty soon So the question is can these be made larger without having an OS reinstall? How might I go about it or can the ServerMatrix techs deal with it?

This box is running qmail/spamassassin/clamav etc and most of the space in var is eaten up by SA, pyzor and razor. Logs on var.

Thanks!
Iggy

It is possible to request for another harddisk if you do not already have two and move some folders over and set up the necessary symbolic links.

Yah. There's plenty of room on /usr though so it's ln -s for me and copious notes of all the things that have been moved from they're stock positions.

df before you take receipt of your server folks!

Thanks,
Iggy

The auto default partitioning is pretty lame in FreeBSD.
You avec a tiny /var and a very large /usr.

I always ask for a custom partitioning. THis time they botched it up REAL bad. Still waiting for SM to reload the OS.
