Reduction of LV for the /var and /opt directories

[MarkSyder]

1. mv mydir mydir.old

2. Go into SAM -> discs and filesystems -> Logical volumes -> create. Create an lvol that you think will be big enough to take the contents of mydir.old, preferably not on the os disc. Name the filesystem /mydir

2. cd mydir.old
find . â xdev â depth â print|cpio â pmd /mydir

Once this has finished, monitor for a while and then delete mydir.old and all its contents.

Thanks Mark,
I really appreciate this help. Just one thing, I can not read step two in your directions.

2. cd mydir.old
find . â  xdev â  depth â  print|cpio â  pmd /mydir

I do not understand the a and squares, the characters must not be translating correctly or something?

Could you please resend

And thanks again for for all your time!!

That's what I get for copying and pasting from a M$ Word document!

find . -xdev -depth -print|cpio -pmd /mydir

Phil,

One final point (for which I want no points).

I'm grateful for the points you've given to me, but other people have tried to help. When I ask a question I always give a minimum of 3 points to every genuine attempt to help, even if it didn't help at all. Some good people have given you some good answers and they deserve points!

Mark
