Move data store.

[santunez]

Hello Team.

I have installed zimbra 4.5 in CenTos 5, and need move de store folder in other partition.

The actual partition /opt/ have 100Gb, and need moved the store folder to /home folder with 300GB.

I need help by this issue.

Thanks

Can you move the /opt to your new mount? If not, a symlink should be fine. Just be sure it's not an NFS mount. NFS has locking and latency issues.

I have a similar situation. My data store is currently in /opt/zimbra/store and I need to move it to a larger partition /data.

Is it not possible to do this using the CLI zmvolume? I do not have much experience with linux and I'm looking for the simplest way to do this.

Nope. Your best bet is a symlink.

# cd /opt/zimbra
# mkdir /data/zimbra
# mv store /data/zimbra/
# ln -s /data/zimbra/store .

That moves the /opt/zimbra/store/ directory to /data/zimbra/store/.

Then creates a symlink from /data/zimbra/store/ to /opt/zimbra/store. That way, Zimbra can be started as per normal. It will write it's data to /opt/zimbra/store ... which is really /data/zimbra/store.

And Upgrades will perform normal through the symbolic Links????
I mean the OS should just pass the links on as static locations correct???

That is how symlinks work.
