Title: Endian 2.3 installation
Post by: nickbsd on Sunday 15 November 2009, 11:38:29 am
Greetings everyone,

How do I change the mount point for /var/log ? I've been running 2.2 for awhile and decided to install the latest version of Endian. After I booted to CD, the installation wizard ran fine but after the server restarted I noticed it created the /var/log mountpoint only utilizing 300M on a 120 GIG drive. My question is, why doesn't Endian give you the option to specify how you can allocate the sizes on each partition and HOW do I change it? I'm familiar with linux somewhat; I can't unmount the parition while logged into the box via ssh. When I attempted to force a dismount it says the drive is busy.

So how can I correct this manually? What happens is within 2-3 days the /var/log mount is at 100% which starts degrading server performance and then eventually the services stop failing.

Any ideas?

Hi

This should be possible if you boot with some linux-live-cd - there  you can recreate the log partition.

Note: I installed a fresh 2.3 some days ago and my /var/log is >2G...
