Re: [CentOS] Don't understand how to re-partition this setup or why it was made like this

Hello,

I did df -h on my CentOS 6.4 machine.

$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/vg_ysg-lv_root 47G 8.8G 36G 20% / tmpfs 948M 372K 947M 1% /dev/shm /dev/sda1 485M 62M 398M 14% /boot /dev/mapper/vg_ysg-lv_home 4.6G 2.7G 1.7G 63% /home

What I don't understand is why is /home so tiny and how can I re-partition this without having to nuke and rebuild my machine?

You'd have to resize the logical volumes your FS lives on (here: vg_ysg-lv_root and vg_ysg-lv_home) and resize the FS as well.

Can be done booting off a rescue medium w/o any problems. Make sure you do have a complete backup, though.

HTH,

Timo
