Guest ssirmans Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 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????

Guest ssirmans Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Re: OS Partition out of space!!!! 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!!!
