I copied the entire=20 partition to a new partition on a different drive using cpio as I wanted=20 /dev moved too. At the time this was running 4.x. After moving the root partition I rebooted and made sure the new partition= =20 was still fine. Then I changed both /etc/fstab files to mount the new=20 root, and gave the old root a new mount point. On the root of the old root I added a boot.config file to tell the loader= =20 the correct drive and slice to boot from. After another reboot, I was using the new root partition. I keep the old= =20 one there for the boot.config. It like your's is too small do much else=20 with given the huge drives we install these days. As for your old root, you should try to clear any space you can. I would= =20 look for any log files you can purge, etc, to get some working space. -Derek At 09:54 AM 3/19/2007, Marcelo Maraboli wrote: >Hi > >my / partition has only 73.196 Mbytes available and since I >have 22.000 users, I now cannot change anyone=B4s password.. > >root@server:~$ passwd marcelo.maraboli >Changing local password for marcelo.maraboli >New Password: >Retype New Password: > >/: write failed, filesystem is full >pwd_mkdb: write old: No space left on device >passwd: pam_chauthtok(): error in service module > >How can I rezise the "/" partition or move the spwb.db >and pwd.db files to another partition ??
