[thelist] linux server redistribute disk space

[Richard Bennett]

Hi all,

I have remote root access to our Linux Redhat 7.1 server, and could use some
advice:

Our disk looks like this:

Filesystem           1k-blocks       Used     Available   Use%  Mounted on
/dev/hda5             381139      244083       117378    68%    /
/dev/hda1               46636           5955         38273    14%    /boot
/dev/hda3        17781232       120864  16757116    1%      /home
none                     256416                  0       256416    0%
/dev/shm
/dev/hdb1        18982764     1258876  16759588    7%      /usr
/dev/hdb2             256665       236623           6789     98%   /var

Our webserver is on var/www/htdocs, but /var has run out of space.
I'm trying to upload 500 megs of PDFs to the server.

Is it possible to redistribute diskspace from /home to /var, without loosing
data?
Alternatively, can I put my pdfs on /home, and create a link from /var so
they are visible from the web?

Thanks,
Richard.
