Disk partition
Vadim, 2014-02-02 01:07:54

Is it possible in CentOS to extend the "/" partition at the expense of the "/home" partition?

Is it possible to increase the "/" partition at the expense of the "/home" partition?
This is a dedicated server at hetzner. When installing the OS, the disk was automatically partitioned (to be honest, I don’t even know how to manually set the layout there) in the ratio:
/ - 1TB (/dev/md2)
/home 1.7 TB (/dev/md3)
/swap 8GB (/dev/md0)
/boot 536 MB (/dev/md1) Raid
disk 1.

Sites are already running on the server, so reinstallation is undesirable.
I would be grateful for information on how to manually partition the disk when installing the OS in the hetzner panel.
