GMS attachments - relocate to new volume

MigrationDeletedUser over 8 years ago

We are running out of disk space. The server is a virtual and we can add disk with vsphere easy enough, but re-sizing the existing volume is not working. the volume is "busy" - - it is the only volume.

Is there any way to move (relocate) the attachments to a new volume ?

Hi,

Quick question - when partitioning your disk did you create /var as a separate partition?

Please let us know.

Cheers,

Addition to what Laura said do you use LVM?

when entering "df" we get:
dev/sda2
udev
tmpfs
there is also a swap file at dev/sda1

regarding lvm ... I see an ext3 (/dev/sda2)

Hi,

Ok, you could create a new virtual disk, present the storage to your VM and move your entire /var directory to the new disk following this TID: https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7015338

I do not suggest moving just the attachments folder as that would no doubt break a ton of things. Rather relocate your entire /var directory as that is where GMS stores all of it's data.

Well, a good option, if not a great option - - thanks. We'll give you an update when we've completed the process. The TID looks within our skills.
