    Linux: resizing a partition

    My server:
    Code:
    Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/hda7             20972152   7418104  13554048  36% /
    udev                    517532       152    517380   1% /dev
    [b]/dev/hda8             34040620  33734172    306448 100% /home[/b]
    /dev/hdd               3661840   3661840         0 100% /media/SU1010_001
    /dev/hdc1            480696480 154443048 301834636  34% /bigdrive
    That's bad because I need at least 5 GB more space on /home. Is there a way to non-destructively take some space away from /, or move /home to /dev/hdc1 without losing everything?

    Do you need the space in /home itself, or in a sub-directory of /home?

      A subdirectory of home (my home directory, but being the server administrator, that doesn't say much).

        Just setup space on another partition and create a link to that directory from /home.

          It's a good solution to cheat.

          We do this for /var/lib/mysql to /www/data/mysql
