1and1 customer, right?

SSH in and do the following

#df -h

Take note of what the largest partition is. It's either going to be /home or /var. I'm going to assume /home

#cd /
#mv /opt /home/opt
# ln -s /home/opt ./opt

Now your opt directory is symlinked to the large home partition and you should have all the room you need.

 

[verybad]

Yes im a 1&1 customer lol. Thanks for your reply. Ill give it a try.

 

[verybad]

So im gussing /var is the biggest?

/dev/hda1 479M 216M 239M 48% /
none 1009M 0 1009M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda5 4.7G 2.0G 2.8G 42% /usr
/dev/hda7 101G 9.1G 91G 10% /var
/dev/hda6 4.7G 148K 4.7G 1% /home


So id command:

mv /opt /var/opt

ln -s /var/opt ./opt

 

[verybad]

Anyone?????

 

[prodius]

Anyone what? You posted the solution, it should work.

 

[verybad]

Sorry before I do anything, I like to make sure im doing it right.

 

[Highland]

Yes, use /var instead of /home and use the same procedure.

 

[verybad]

I still get the error

This is the full error:

command line:

[root@server ~]# mv /opt /var/opt
[root@server ~]# ln -s /var/opt ./opt

 

[prodius]

Drop the . before ./opt in the last command. This dot gives a wrong result if you aren't in the / dir.

 

[verybad]

Still get the same.

Command line:

[root@server ~]# mv /opt /var/opt
mv: cannot overwrite directory `/var/opt/opt'
[root@server ~]# ln -s /var/opt /opt

 

[Highland]

Do this

#cd /
#ls -la

Do you see the /opt directory listed as a symbolic link?

 

[verybad]

looks like it


drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 17 18:24 opt

 

[prodius]

A symlink should look like
lrwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 17 18:24 opt -> /var/opt

Let's try this

#cd /var
#ls -l

What does that give you?
And then

#cd /var/opt
#ls -l

You should have a psa directory underneath

 

[verybad]

#cd /var
#ls -l

Is there anything underneath /var/opt/opt?
