Transfer storage from home to var

[roman.meier@gismap.ch]

Hi folks,

I have run out of storage on /var and I can't extend size because all on the harddrive has been used already.

I have about 50G unused space on /skole/jener/home0 but I find it difficult to transfer storage from /skole/jener/home to /dev.

I was able to reduce storage of /skole/jener/home by about 10G but assigning 5G of it to /dev results in an error message:

root@tjener:/skole/tjener/home0/roman# sudo lvextend -L+5G /dev/vg_system/var
  Insufficient free space: 1280 extents needed, but only 138 available
root@tjener:/skole/tjener/home0/roman# sudo lvextend -L+9G /dev/vg_system/var

Any ideas?

Kind regards,
Roman
