can anyone help me resize a partition
Hi guys, I am a complete noob when it comes to partitioning with Linux
Basically I want to resize a partition on one of my servers so as I can use HyperVM and add more OS templates
I have HyperVM working great on other systems except i need more templates...
I am using 1and1 for my servers, and here is my current partitioning
Code:[root@s15360246 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 940M 148M 746M 17% / /dev/sda5 4.7G 456M 4.3G 10% /usr /dev/sda6 4.7G 19M 4.7G 1% /var /dev/sda7 1.4T 5.1M 1.4T 1% /home none 7.9G 0 7.9G 0% /tmp
I am currently using CentOS 5 x32 on this particular server but have another 4 on x64 with the same specs...
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hypervm stores templates and OpenVZ VEs in folder /vz. You can move the /vz folder away to your /home directory like this:
mv /vz /home/vz
ln -s /home/vz /vz

yeah thank you that seems to work fine, thanks a lot (i assumed a link would work but didnt want to risk having to reload the server )
another quick question which is a long shot but worth a go
Is it possible to setup LVM via SSH, LVM is another thing I myself am unfamiliar with but I would like to try out Windows VPS's but 1and1 seem to be ignoring my requests (and all other emails for that matter)

Yes, you can. You can only offer Windows VPS with Xen (+ hypervm if you need it). And you can only run Xen and Hypervm if you have LVM up and running. And yes, it's possible via SSH. What do you currently have on /home? Any live customers yet?
Let me know if you need a hand with the switch over to LVM.

no i dont have anything yet I do not launch for 3 days, there is a lot of preparations to do
Yes if you could help me that would be great... I will send you the SSH details to the server I want LVM on, I prefer it to have HyperVM as a slave but if it needs to be master thats fine
Thanks for your help m8, much appreciated... I am just getting into the VPS world so a lot to learn
