Partition adjusting with Partition Magic?

I'm still suffereing from a congested log partition, I am bombarded with emails about too many logs and not enough disk space. 
Here is my setup at the moment:-

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda7               490023    205197    259524  44% /
/dev/hda1               490023      4702    460019   1% /emergency
/dev/hda3               940816    771852    121172  86% /var/log
/dev/hda5               972436     17848    905192   2% /var/chroot-smtp
/dev/hda6                93328     16464     72045  19% /var/recovery
/dev/hda8              3328480    774744   2384652  25% /var/chroot-squid
/dev/hda9              3391776    311572   2907908  10% /var/chroot-report
none                     15360         0     15360   0% /var/shm


Can I safely reduce the size of /var/chroot-report and stretch /var/log ?

thanks
Mike

  • According to the install that you agreed upon you cannot add any other software or operating systems so playing with the partitions would probably make it unhappy with you.  Also, you would want to make sure that whatever you use to re-size the partitions can safely interact with the filesystem type.
  • hi,

    using partiton magic or other similar tools isn't recommended.
    you could take another linux box, connect the fw-harddisk and backup your /var/chroot-report and /var/chroot-log. then recreate the 2 partitions, format them and restore data. this should work (and maybe it's faster than using PM).

    maybe this works - but i didn't test it ...!    

    bye,
