OS Partition out of space!!!!

[Guest ssirmans]

I have a server that the builder only gave a 4gig OS partition. Plenty of

space is left on the data partion.

 

OS partition is almost full.

 

What are my options to remedy other than building a new server, with a

proper OS partion size, and forklift the data.

 

This is a file server and drive is part of a raid 5 configuration.

 

Any ideas????

Sorry...should have mentioned that was done.

 

As well as anything else I can think of. Got it down to the bare minimum.

 

At this point, there is either a way to extend this partion, or seriously

decrease the OS footprint....

 

What are my options?

 

Thanks for the reply!!!

either rebuild the server or look into some third party partition software

like Partition magic
