Question Moving entire /var

[yoyo]

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

Obsidian

I am using Ubuntu 22.04 and need to move /var to a new RAID array (/dev/md0)

I have already mounted /dev/md0 and updated /etc/fstab

What is the best way?

Mount the new /var somewhere, shutdown database, copy everything over (cp -ai or rsync -avP), reboot to change everything to the new location.

Do you need to actually move the entire var?

For example, you can move just the vhosts location by using the transvhosts utility;
