Re: [cobalt-users] The filesystem [/] is getting very full

I recently faced the same problem.
I didn't have a script but I moved my usr directory to home and then created a symlink to it. After doing so, you'll have to restart some of your services that may have relied on data in the /usr directory (for instance mysql). 

I used:

whilst in "/" and as root:

cp -a /usr /home
ln -s /home/usr usr

Restart any necessary services.
Course your milage may vary, and you may feel less stressed using a script, I know I gained a few grey hairs doing this. 

Kam.



Hi Guys,

Just received this and i have looked in the archives, im sure i read here
not to long ago about a script that could be run that would move and symlink
certain directories from / to increase the space, but i cant find any
reference to it, could someone kindly point me in the right direction.

just some info here on the message and some outputs.
