Howdy,

The easy way to make cPanel start using it is to mount it as /homeN so /home2 or /home3 and so on. You can change your fstab in etc and cPanel will start using it.

Thanks!

Thank you
can you let me know how i can change name /data to /home2 ?

i haven't any data on /data (means 2th HDD)

Thanks.

Log into your server via SSH

umount /data

mkdir /home2

edit your /etc/fstab and change the line /data and put /home2 be sure to enable the quotas (make it look the same as your primary home partition)


mount /home2

Thanks so much,

and how i can change a user directory from /home1 to /home3 ?

Thanks.

In /etc/wwwacct.conf, make sure to set HOMEMATCH to 'home' (no slash). cPanel will automatically provision to whatever /home* folder has the most space available. If you only want it to provision on /home3, set HOMEDIR to /home3 and blank out the HOMEMATCH directive.

You can use the rearrange accounts function in WHM. There's a way to do it manually from command line as well.
