We also do not have enough room to dump and reload a second copy of the DB. Any ideas on this, anyone? We didn't think very straight when we were sizing /var on a DB machine...
If you need more space, just say the word.
Is it a resizable volume, and can you do it when it is online? I don't know completely how you guys set up the root partitions on the hypervisor.
If we could get another 5-10 GB for /var on gudrun that would be great. We could definitely scale back what we have for / on both boxes by 2-3 GB, and /srv on gerolde has the biggest allotment of course.
You have to take the whole VM down to resize LVM volumes from outside the VM. Another thing is that shrinking volumes is not the easiest thing.
I thought that as well. That wouldn't be the end of the world; we've done downtime before, but unless we have free space that isn't already allocated that does make this tough, right? -Dan
