quote]i use virtualmin on my server as control panel. i have two hard drive in my server. the first drive have 2 partition (35G and 30GB) .The others have one (70 GB). My main partititon that system run, is full %90. So mysql and my system freeze.
Drive 1
First partiton: 35 GB (completely full)
Second partiton: 30 GB (using %2)
Drive 2:
Third partiton: 70 GB (using %2)
1. Is the fullness of the disc space, effects the mysql server?
2. To decrease the use of main partition, is it possible to move /home directory or mail directory to other drive. If is it possible how can do this?

I've seen mysql run without issues up into the 99% used disk space.
Here's a simple guide to moving /home to a different partition:

The provided guide seems pretty good but it's not for FreeBSD, but Linux, so I wouldn't recommend to use the exact steps as it won't work.
There are several ways to do that, I will try to show you probably the easier one (not necessarily the most appropriate one). Assuming that:
- You have your Drive2 mounted as /hdd2
- Your homedir is /home (if you are not sure: "ls -ld /usr/home /home" as it may be /usr/home, depending O/S setup)
# Create home directory in /hdd2
mkdir /hdd2/home
# Set default home permissions (or 711 if you want to restrict listing):
chmod 755 /hdd2/home
# Copy hdd1's home to hdd2's home
cp -Rp /home /hdd2/
# Rename hdd1's home to oldhome
mv /home /oldhome
# Create symbolic link from /home to /hdd2/home
ln -s /hdd2/home /home
That should do the job and once you're sure that everything is fully functional on your new homedir, you may delete /oldhome to free up space on your first drive.
Thank you.

Please make sure you have a backup before you try anything. This is an easy recipe for data loss if you're not careful.
