[Discuss] MyBookLive disk space issues

[sweetser at alum.mit.edu (Doug)]

The device has a 1T of disk space. I decided to create a directory
/DataVolume/var, use rsync to fill it up with what was in /var, mv
/var to /var.orig, then symbolically link /var to /DataVolume/var. The
system rebooted so I didn't break anything. I moved /var.orig to
/DataVolume.

MyBookLive:~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1              1.9G  421M  1.4G  24% /
tmpfs                  50M     0   50M   0% /lib/init/rw

Looks good now. Thanks,
Doug
