FULL Space /root

[jfhoyosm (Julian Felipe Hoyos Montoya)]

NethServer Version: NethServer 7.9.2009
Module: Storage

I have a big problem with the space in the / partition, something that had not happened to me with previous installations, from the beginning installing Nethserver on this server was complex because of its partitions; The thing is that I have to increase the size of / by removing it from /home.
Any process to do this without having to format?
I thank you.

How do I fix a full root partition?

NethServer Version: 7.8.2003 As the title says the root partition is full. I have done symbolic links for /var/www and for /var/lib/nethsrver/ibay to another partition to off load some of the bigger stuff and have manually deleted some tgz log files. I tried to run the find command that was referenced in another post, but all I end up with is a > prompt. I broke the command line down into its separate parts and it did show that there were a few files in the backup directory that were big. Witho…

Another option:
First of all, before working on partitions/volumes…, take a backup.

A simple example with a single disk (installed on bare-metal or on a simple VM):

1. if /home is empty (no user’s data): from cockpit open System > Storage; Choose /home volume; delete it.
2. from cockpit open System > Storage; Choose /root volume; Grow volume space.
3. reboot
4. check /home is present and accessible on the root volume
