    Hi there!

    I just started using cPanel. I administrate a root server with 2x 512 GB NVMe SSDs and 2x 2 TB HDD built-in. I used this tutorial to mount and use the HDDs as /home2. OS & cPanel are located on the SDDs. Everything works fine thus far.

    I would like to offer HDD & SDD hosting separatly. So is there a option to embed a /var2 location to relocate databases and mail queue also to the HDDs?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,

    Are you attempting to store databases and emails from specific accounts to a separate partition, or are you attempting to store all databases and the mail queue on on a separate hard drive?

    Thank you.

    Sorry for my late answer, we were busy with some other projects.

    Yes, from specific accounts. e.g.:

    SSD-account --> /home (user account) and /var (MySQL databases, configuration files, mail queue)
    HDD-account --> /home2 and /var2

    /home and /var are located on the SSDs, /home2 and /var2 are located on the HDDs. So i'd like to separate these two account options. Otherwise the HDD-User, who paid just for average HDD-hosting, would benefit from databases located on faster SSD for free. Do you get my point?

    Thanks.

    vision1234, could You share information about how you assign accounts on the directories /home and /home2? this happens automatically after the registration with the help of some additional script?

    Hello,

    There's no native support for multiple storage directories on a per-account basis for data such as MySQL databases, or queued email. I suggest opening a feature request for this via:

    Thank you.
