Disk space allocation

[blue-yu]

Hi,

I have created VM with 500GB disk. Plan for this server is to host huge amount of emails. I have discovered that current disk allocation is:
root - 50GB
swap - 4GB
home - 445GB

Since emails are not located in home folder I have an issue that root folder is not big enough.

What did I do wrong?

What did I do wrong?

You bought a big server to store emails and don't know how to configure/manage it!
This looks like a recipe for spamming.

I'm fast learner Partition is done during installation of Centos. Automatic partitioning did it this way. Is there a chance to change it somehow?

Automatic partitioning

That's your first mistake: it can't predict your use case and is setup for a typical Windoze luser. 

At the risk of helping a spammer...

Code Select Expand

mv /var/spool/mail /home/
ln -s /home/mail /var/spool/mail

Might work (untested).

Thanks.

Mails are located in /var/vmail/...

So i assume that command would be:

Code Select Expand

mv /var/vmail /home/
ln -s /home/vmail /var/vmail

I will snap VM and in the case anything goes wrong I will revert it.

Should I stop mail services during MV?
