Disk Partition Adjustment

Closed Posted Apr 19, 2014 Paid on delivery
Closed Paid on delivery

We have been having problems with the disk space on our server. Our /root 20G keeps getting full and crashing the server, but we have a /home directory that has 1 T unused disk space. We need help understanding the problem and fixing it - which I assume involves adjusting partitions.

You will not have access to the server, but we can relay any information back and forth with you and you will need to walk us through the steps to investigate the problem and safely back-up and adjust the partitions
