Move disk space

[gustavogama]

Good afternoon folks,

I would like some help, if it is possible to move some disk from /work to /.

I don’t want to have to redo the machine, it’s in the OCI and it’s very bureaucratic.

Note: That 3.5G is rather small, but then again you seem to have a 200G disk. Anyway, the 3.5G is clearly less than what default install would do, but then again the default install does not create /work.

Lets say that you do need more space in /var/log that is in rocky-root volume. You can’t shrink the ISCSI_...-work volume, because XFS does not support shrink.

You can create directory /work/var_log.
Then copy everything from current /var/log into /work/var_log.
Next remove everything from /var/log.
Finally mount /work/var_log to /var/log.
Content of /work/var_log will then be seen in /var/log; what is written to /var/log will in reality use space from the ISCSI_...-work volume.

The mount should use bind option. One can add an entry to /etc/fstab:

/work/var_log  /var/log  none  bind  0  0

The example of /var/log is tricky, because the system should not write to source while one does the copy-remove-mount and logs are written and/or syslog does have files open continuously there. Depends on what/where you need “space”.
