Hi,

Are you server owner? What does df -h shows? Anyway, please clarify your question as it is not clear enough.

Hi Bogdan,
Yes, Im owning a server running Cloud Linux 6 + Cpanel.
df -h:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_web11-lv_root
50G 28G 19G 60% /
tmpfs 7.8G 14M 7.8G 1% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1 459G 349G 87G 81% /mnt/backup

lvs Command output:
LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert
lv_home vg_web11 -wi-ao---- 77.65g
lv_root vg_web11 -wi-ao---- 50.00g
lv_swap vg_web11 -wi-ao---- 7.83g

I want to extend lv_home in 10 GB that will be taken from lv_root (theres 20GB from 50GB free in lv_root).
Please assist.
Thanks,
Lior

Hello,

Well, the procedure will be same as on any other Linux machines - managing logical volumes. Any howtos will do the trick, like https://www.rootusers.com/lvm-resize...lvm-partition/ or https://www.gadgetdaily.xyz/can-open...e-health-care/ .

However, I do not consider the issue to be safe to perform on live server. Does it worth it? Do you need other users to be created in home? If so - you may create /home2/ and set it with WHM to use for new users. Or, move some accounts to /home2/ with WHM
earrange account.

Thanks Bogdan,
Ill take your advice, and will go for the home2 solution.
Youre Great!!!
