Hi, |
| 2 |
|

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... |
