    Hi,

    /dev/sda6 494M 8.1M 461M 2% /tmp
    /dev/sda1 1.5G 305M 1.1G 22% /
    /dev/sda3 9.7G 3.7G 5.5G 41% /usr
    /dev/sda7 118G 553M 112G 1% /home
    /dev/sda2 16G 764M 14G 6% /var

    WHM install new account in /usr partition, but i have partition /home with 118 GByte of space available, is possible resize the /usr partition?? or is possible install new account in partition /home ??

    thanks

    Once you have assigned the partitions you cannot change them. There are some hack work arounds to change partition sizes, but you will end up with an unstable machine. Your partition scheme isn't too bad, should work for a normal server.

    The default consiguration should create accounts in /home anyway. IF they're not, check your settings in WHM > Edit Setup. If they're OK, you may have something unsual in your mount points - it would be helpful in that case if you could post your /etc/fstab file.

    Your in trouble, this is a very complex process I gave been researching for months. You need to remove the mount on a larger partition then use a special program to to split the partition and remount the partition. You will have to back up the data in the mount your remove and the one your are moving.

    Basically you need to reformat or set up a cron to clean out the directory every night. :cool:

    Also /tmp should be 1 gig minimum for next time.

    ok, Default Home Directory is setup "/home".

    files for accounts are located here, but the logs file for this accounts it is located in /usr, I have an account that produce every month about 5/6 GByte file log and it fills up the partition /usr.

    the logs file is located in /etc/httpd/domlogs, real path -> /usr/local/apache/domlogs

    You can move domlogs to /home and symlink the directory if you want, with something like:

    mv /usr/local/apache/domlogs /home/
    ln -s /home/domlogs /usr/local/apache
    /scripts/restartsrv_httpd
