Hi, |
2 |
|
3 |
I found out my /usr is getting full pretty fast, so I want |
4 |
to increase it before it happens a real problem. I have: |
5 |
|
6 |
/dev/md4 (sda5+sdb5), ~5GB size, used for /var, nearly empty |
7 |
/dev/md5 (sda6+sdb6), ~5GB size, used for /usr, nearly full (90%) |
8 |
And I have /backup on separate partition (hda1), big enough |
9 |
|
10 |
What I think of is this procedure: First I copy /var and /usr: |
11 |
cp -a /var /backup |
12 |
cp -a /usr /backup |
13 |
|
14 |
Then I intend to reboot with install-cd, repartition sda/sdb |
15 |
(make sda5/sdb5 smaller and sda6/sdb6 bigger), create new |
16 |
/dev/md4 and /dev/md5, mount them, and copy the content back. |
17 |
|
18 |
cp -a /mnt/gentoo/backup/var /mnt/gentoo/var |
19 |
cp -a /mnt/gentoo/backup/usr /mnt/gentoo/usr |
20 |
|
21 |
Is it a correct procedure? All partitions are ext3 type, no lvm2, |
22 |
moreover on /dev/md so I can not extend/shrink them while using... |
23 |
