RE: [cobalt-users] Root almost Full on Raq4

["Ken Duffield" <xebec@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi To ALL,

Please could someone advise as to what I am doing wrong here as I am trying
to move some files using the example as hereunder but I am getting this
error and I do not see where I am going wrong.

[root@mail /root]# mv /usr/local /home/usr/local
mv: cannot move `/usr/local' across filesystems: Not a regular file

Thanks in advance,

Ken

Then consider moving files to a partition with more space and creating a
symbolic link at the old location.  /usr is on the root partition and there
should be directories you can safely move to /home which has plenty of space
on your server.  Quick example:

mkdir /home/usr
mkdir /home/usr/local
mv /usr/local /home/usr/local
ln -s /home/usr/local /usr/local

Backup the files first and verify that it worked as expected.  Do a 'df -h'
afterwards and you should have plenty of space.
