Increase Mail Disk Space

[scottlpool2003]

Is there any way to increase the disk space for the mail server? Had a major catastrophe with the mail server crashing out with no space left yesterday.

/dev/md1
11.6 GB free of 15.1 GB

/dev/md3
708.5 MB free of 4.7 GB <<MAIL DISK SPACE

/dev/md2
188.3 GB free of 203.7 GB

Help appreciated.

Try this

Hi,

i had the same problem with my server. So, i decided to change the partition where the mailnames folder was.
So, i shutdown the email services (pop + smtp), made a copy of /var/qmail/mailnames folder to my other partition with the extra space (e.g.: /srv/mailnames), then renamed the OLD folder to /var/qmail/mailnames2. After that i made a link (shortcut) from /var/qmail/mailnames to my new folder (linux: ln -s /srv/mailnames mailnames). That command makes a shortcut named "mailnames" to the real one /srv/mailnames folder.
Then, restart the email services (pop + smtp).
And you are done.

Zero.
