Home directories are full
My home directories are already full. I mounted a new hard drive. How can I allocate space from this new hard drive to the existing user home directories?
Is it possible? Thanks, Homer |
I'd suggest to create a partition on the new hdd,
format it. Mount it to some temporary directory. Then copy all directories from /home over to the temporary directory that the new hdd is mounted to. Unmount new hdd. Edit /etc/fstab, create an entry for /home that points to the new partition. Mount /home See whether everything works fine. If it does, unmount /home Delete the files in the old home. Mount /home again. Voila :} Cheers, Tink P.S.: Check my steps CAREFULLY, I may have overlooked something, it's been a while that I did it myself ;) The tips come with the GNU Licenses, and NO responsibility :D |
