Good morning,
I have one serverthat is pushing it´s limits in terms of hard disk space. It is all hosted on one big, (virtual) hard disk, and I was absolutely not aware that data usage will grow that much.
So my plan is to add another disk, migrate /srv there, kill sda9 and then shrink the hard disk as much as possible (the actual file system), and then offline shrink the virtual hdd.
This worked once for me on a windows box, but I am not sure if this is a feasable way here on ubuntu. I would like to avoid further migrations (in terms of reinstall), if possible.
But, if you have other ways to accomplish that, I am more than interrested to hear them :)
Thanks in advance
Johannes
