Re: how to increase /opt disk space?
Hi damend,
you're sure this is a zimbra related question?
Anyway, there are a lot of things you can do, but it is depending on your filesystem as well...
E.g. put another (bigger) hdd/sdd into the system, clone over your sda1 with an image tool, expand your partiton table (parted is your friend), expand your filesystem, change mount point /opt
E.g. put another (bigger) hdd/sdd into the system, format it, copy things over using rsync (be carefull of file permissions and the sparse file... keyword is ldap), change mount point /opt
ALLWAYS have a VALID backup! Try first on test installation! If you are not into linux or you feel uncomfortable with what I wrote above DON'T DO IT!!
BTW actually it doesn't seem very urgent to me, there is plenty of space left (your picture)... I wish I had a system like that...
Regards
Joerg
