LVM problems?

[synthetic5995]

I downloaded and install Plesk(x86_64) from:http://www.parallels.com/download/plesk/images/.

But this ISO software automatically partition my 300GB HDD to:

/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root (50GB) - main use.
/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_home (250GB) - no use.

My question is: How to re-size this partition, because if VolGroup-lv_root has only 50GB, it's will be full very fast and waste capacity of our HDD.

P/s: Our system is running as a service, i don't want to stop our service.

Thank You so much!

Hello,

You will have to contact your System Admin they will reduce your LV VolGroup-lv_home and increase your VolGroup-lv_root partition and you should not face any issues with the current installation

Thanks

Actually, I'm the system admin

And how to "reduce your LV VolGroup-lv_home and increase your VolGroup-lv_root partition", i mean, do Plesk have some procedure to do that? Because i downloaded this ISO image from official page of Plesk and i cannot customize my HDD

Can you please show me the output of following command

df -h

Also check your /home data

cd /home
ls -la

This is home folder:

[root@xxx ~]# cd /home
[root@xxx home]# ls -al
total 32

Hello,

I can see you have only 197MB data on your /home partition so you can delete that partition and create it again with some disk space, But please make sure take a backup of /home directory and stop all services before deleting your /home partition and than you can increased you main partition (/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root )

Also check your /etc/fstab file once it's done so that you will not face issues when you reboot your server

Thanks
