Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : silly /home dir question

[AndyJ]

something weird in my server, there are few website running at /home dir which is in main hdd and some are running at /home2 which is in backup hdd !!!. Should i go ahead move them all to /home dir ?. Or any idea? Thanks alot

p/s: the guy who support my server moved all my data from my old server to this current server last few weeks for me

Normally there is no problem if you have two home partitions in different disks, and it is better to have a separate disk for backup and also you can have the backup in different directory other than /home2 and on same disk.


Thanks,

You might be running low on space on main hdd hence the guy split users between hard drives.

i dont think that good idea if you separate them in 2 partition

my hdd1 is 250gb which has /home dir, and my hdd2 is 300gb which has /home2 dir. I still have a lot of space in /home dir (70% or more). I think i will move all accounts to /home dir and leave /home2 dir for backing up only, am i right ?

Last few night, my server was load so high, it said something about swapping, do you think my server load because swapping ? Thanks

Sure then move everybody to /home.

Yes, constant swapping ups the load tremendously. You might want to add more RAM.
