Re: Transfer storage from home to var

[roman.meier@gismap.ch]

Hi Petter,

Thanks for your fast reply!

As mentioned in my email, I was able to reduce the size of /skole/jener/home0. I therefore logged in als root and unmounted /skole/jener/home0.

For unknown reasons this space is however not made available to be reassigned to /dev resulting in the error message mentioned.

Kind regards,
Roman
