resize and add new software raid1 xfs partition
I have a server with the following disk default setup:
Code:
server:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 950M 74M 828M 9% /
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/md5 4.7G 230M 4.5G 5% /usr
/dev/md6 4.7G 70M 4.6G 2% /var
/dev/md7 454G 4.6M 454G 1% /home
none 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /tmp
Since it is going to be mainly used as a LAMP web server , I'd like te edit partitions by decrasing the /home size to 150G and to creating 2 new partition : /var/www 150GB and /var/lib/mysql 150GB
My hosting provider provides a rescue system, I rebooted my server to the rescue system
Code:
rescue:~# fdisk -l

All partitions are formatted to xfs
I tried to look for a How TO, but most available ressources available are about ext2 partitions
What steps should I follow to resize /home (/dev/md7) and to create the two new partitions |
