"Can you expand on the description of your environment? Do you have two servers (one with the single partition and another with multiple partitions)?"
-- I wish it was only 1 server that was set up this way, but unfortunately it is two servers and they both only have 1 hard drive and 1 large / partition. "And, given that this is a server, you may want to consider using logical volumes instead of partitions." - On a new install, I would certainly use LVM as it has many advantages, however I don't know how to get there from here without the intermediary step of re-partitioning. If there is a way, I'd love to know about it. On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 5:27 PM, Robert Citek <robert.ci...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Thu, Aug 7, 2014 at 1:24 PM, MIke C. (Tech.
