linux - How to add disk space to /var/www for my websites?




I did $ df -h and it threw this:



Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1 9.7G 1.7G 7.6G 18% /
/dev/md2 683G 211M 649G 1% /home
tmpfs 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /dev/shm


The problem is that my websites are located in /var/www, which I guess belongs to /, and they won't be able to use the disk space for things like images, that need to be placed inside the webroot, eg: /var/www/my_site/public_html/




What can I do about it? Should I move disk space from /home to / ? How?
Or move the sites to /home ?
Any thoughts?



Im using centos 5.5 and apache 2


Answer



Easier way will be to move the data to the larger partition, and symlink back into place.



 $ mv /var/www /home/

$ ln -s /home/www /var/www
