Hi, I recently bought dedicated hosting for $45 a month and I am using LxAdmin because I like it. I tried adding a database (DB) and I couldnt, it told me the following: When I clicked on the server tab on the top, I saw that the resource "/ (/dev/hda5" was full and I believe this is why I couldnt make a DB. However, "/home (/dev/hda8" and other hda were empty, so I need to know how to move files from one hd to another. Please give me a detailed answer because I can be a noob at times. Thanks!!
well its because ur disk is full so no palce to create database. free up some disk space by moving some files .
Yea, thats what I need to know, how can I move the files from one disc to another, this is a dedicated server and Im using lxadmin.
Its a linux server. My hard drive is full, and I need to move the files to another one....I asked the hosting guy via the ticket system but he is taking a long time....
if its not the db files, just use the following mv [filename/filenames] -rfv /[hd8 mounted folder] should do it
ok, first find out what folder you have which is mounted on HD8 - for example /mnt/newmount then, say you want to copy the files from /home/myname/ log in using ssh (such as puTTy) cd /home/myname mv * -rfv (which means recursive,force,verbose) /mnt/newmount that should copy all the files over. be careful not so copy system files, just documents,etc.
I got it, I had a friend help too, and the problem was solved so easily. Thanks for all your time pal.
