Hello,
I have fresh install CentOS 6 x64 running on my server. I have a raid 1 drive 3 tb ready to be mounted. I want to mount this as var folder, could achive this but after reboot, server didn't start, maybe i had problem with command cp -rf.
Is this possible to do in a proper manner, with what commands? I used rsync and diff game me like 10+ output.
Best regards

well as long /var is containing "/var/lib" and "/var/cache" than more applications / services are running more possible changes you will get while the sync is running
i would boot the machine with a live-cd and finalize these changes there on the other hand i would NOT move the whole /var to an own partition
normally "/var/cache" and "/var/log" two own partitions or if it is a virtual machine in two different virtual disks should be enough to prevent fill the root-fs and the different disks makes it much easier resize/replace them if needed
Hello,
Thanks for your answer. Thing is, I will install plesk on this server and what i imagined was to make document root for vhosts to be on different drive. On one of servers, i made vhost.conf file and changed document root, and later had problems with cgi-bin folder etc.
Thought like, since changing document root with plesk is kinda pain for my experience, what can i configure to have my websites, and later added domains run with no problem?
Linux is installed on sda 120 gb ssd disk, raid one drive ready to be mounted at /dev/md0 3 tb free disk.
Best regards

Hello,
to copy /var I would use
/bin/cp -Rp

If this is a fresh install, I gather selinux is enabled, so the above approach is likely to have issues: many files/dirs under /var have special selinux contexts.
I'd normaly use something like
rsync -aX /var/ /mnt/new_raid_array/
(the -X option preserves selinux contexts and note the trailing slashes)
Hope this helps.
