    Does anybody know how to allocate disk space in Plesk 9.5 (Linux)

    Technical Info:
    Parallels Plesk Panel version 9.5.4
    Operating system Linux 2.6.18-308.11.1.el5
    CPU GenuineIntel, Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz
    Average load 0.04; 0.06; 0.02

    DISK USAGE:
    Disk space
    /dev/md1
    11.6 GB free of 15.1 GB
    /dev/md3
    708.8 MB free of 4.7 GB <-- Mail Space Needs Increasing Desperately
    /dev/md2
    188.3 GB free of 203.7 GB

    The mail server crashes out when the space gets too low. I have plenty of space in md2 so can I distribute some of that to md3?

    Hmmm, the /dev/mdX naming scheme means that you're using a software RAID setup. Resizing partitions, including software RAID partitions is not something you should attempt unless you have a very good idea of what you're doing. I think you should ask your hosting company to do it for you if possible.

    The easiest solution is to move the mail directory to md2 partition and create a symlink i.e. the email accounts on a Plesk server is saved under /var/qmail/mailnames directory and if your md2 partition is say /home, then do the following

    Stop the mail server while you do that.
