extended root partition

[steven_elvisda]

Dear All,

currently, Im using Cloudlinux + Cpanel. unfortunately, my root partition still have free space only 1.5GB/20GB.

Do you have any idea that can extend my root partition.

my OS running on file system ext3

What type of partitions did you use, if you used standard partitions and not lvm to partition I would first determine what is using most of the disk space.

Then this it what I would do (no guarantees, make sure you have backups etc.)

0) If you are running cagefs, check with CloudLinux before doing this… !
1) stop the service concerned by the files you are moving
2) copy data to a new partition : cp -apr /myfolder /newpartition/myfolder
3) backup the data (for example move it : mv /myfolder /myfolder_bak)
4) Create a symlink on a new partition : ln -s /newpartition/myfolder /myfolder
5) Restart the service and check its working well
6) When you are sure everything is working as it should, delete your backup rm -rf /myfolder_bak
