DISKWARN: /var 7.71/9.84 GB - 83%

[ladydi711]

Hi,

I've received a cPanel DISKWARN regarding the /var partition. In looking for the consumed space, it appears that /var/lib/mysql is using 6.6G of that space.

The server does have a few sites with large databases.

I'm not sure the best way to handle this; I would hope that all site files were on the largest partition (/home), but this doesn't seem to be the case with mysql databases.

Any suggestions on the best way to handle this before I run out of space?

Thanks in Advance!
Diane

Move mysql to another partition like /home and symlink to it. Full details here:

Hello

Yes, the thread mentioned in the previous post outlines how to move the MySQL directory to another partition. Ensure you use the recommended partition configuration in the future for new servers:
