Resize the /var directory in redhat enterprise edition 4
- by Sri
I am running NDB mysql. the log files fills up the /var directory. therefore i cant start the ndbd service now. as a temporary fix, i have deleted the log files and again working fine. but again the log files fill up the /var directory.
i got plenty of space in other partition. therefore i would like to swap the partition from one directory to /var.
here if my input from df -h
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
ext3 54G 2.9G 49G 6% /
/dev/cciss/c0d0p1
ext3 99M 14M 81M 14% /boot
none tmpfs 1013M 0 1013M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0d0p2
ext3 9.7G 9.7G 0 100% /var
there are plenty of space in /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00. Therefore i will like to swap 10 G space from this directory to /var.
could you please help me out to solve this problem?
