Re: Re-allocate /home on a diff partition



Hi,

ever thought of logical Volumes via LVM?
I'm a fan of this technique as it allows you to easily span partitions even across physical disks (so you don't waste as much space, as you do by your fixed partition scheme).

Greetings,

I plan to have a lot of users on this machine (around 10,000)
As you can see there isnt much empty space in /home partition.
I want to shift the /home folder under ' / '.
ie I want /home also on ' sda2 ' instead of sda3.

Hw do i go about doing that.
Are there any risks involved??

Thanks in advance.

Arun
