Disk Space for Zimbra 8.0.0_GA_5434.FOSS

[roybataluna]

Hi guys. I have an issue with our Zimbra. I'am running out of disk space. I just assume responsibility with this email server and they havent tell me what to do in case of this issue occurs. How could I expand the disk space? here is the result of the df

Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_zime01headlin-lv_root
              ext4     50G   47G   61M 100% /
tmpfs        tmpfs    939M     0  939M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1     ext4    485M   69M  391M  15% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg_zime01headlin-lv_home
              ext4    863G  200M  819G   1% /home
I mean, I have a lot of space on ext4, how could I utilize that? Thanks in advance

Zimbra install in /opt



Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/vg_zime01headlin-lv_root

what you mean? can you explain further?

[avea2003]

All product Zimbra (all accounts with mail and database) install in /opt/zimbra

if you have

Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/mapper/vg_zime01headlin-lv_root

ext4 50G 47G 61M 100% /

That mean you have only 61M free on /

You need resize you disk or make new partition or lvm??? what you used????? I don't know what you system.

We are using VMware Zimbra Version: 8.0.0_GA_5434.FOSS It is installed on CentOS. how could I utilize the free space on /dev/mapper/vg_zime01headlin-lv_home
ext4 863G 200M 819G 1% /home. because there is a lot of space in here.

Hi roybataluna,

Is your environment physical or virtual (with which hypervisor)?

You need have LiveCD with CentOS and backup you system

1. Run from liveCD and choose 'Rescue system'

2. Unmount all disk ext Livecd

3. Activate all LVM partition

vgchange -a y

4. List active logical disk

lvscan

5. Check you disk

fsck -fy /dev/vg0/root

fsck -fy /dev/vg0/home

6. Decrease home for 500Gb

resize2fs /dev/vg0/home 500G

7. Decrease partition for 500Gb

lvreduce -L -500G /dev/vg0/home

8. Increase partition for 500Gb

lvextend -L +500G /dev/vg0/root

9. resize2fs /dev/vg0/root

10. fsck -fy /dev/vg0/root

fsck -fy /dev/vg0/home

11.restart

It's virtual. Its running on Vsphere

If you will try the avea2003 steps (thank you very much for the steps), please do a backup/snapshot or clone first.
