For DirectAdmin, the best way is to mount the data-disk as /home instead of /data. It's best to do this during initial configuration before you put any sites on it. If you are already running some live sites on the servelet, please schedule a time during off-peak hour to do this due to the downtime involved. When you have already sites and data running, the process will take longer.
This is how you can do it:
1. Firstly, ensure that you have your data-disk mounted as /data, which is the default settings. If the data-disk is not mounted yet, please mount it as /data. If the data-disk is mounted as different folder name, then adjust below commands accordingly. Use df to verify:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_sccentos6464b14-lv_root
7.5G 3.3G 3.9G 47% /
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/vda1 485M 135M 325M 30% /boot
/dev/vdb1 89G 185M 84G 1% /data
The data-disk device is (normally) /dev/vdb1 and based on df result above, you can see that it's mounted as /data, which is the default.
2. Stop the DirectAdmin service.
- For DirectAdmin running on CentOS 7 (newer template):
systemctl stop directadmin.service
- For DirectAdmin running on CentOS 6 (older template):
/etc/init.d/directadmin stop
3. Go to /home folder.
cd /home
4. On default DirectAdmin template setup, you will see 3 folders there: admin, ftp and tmp. Move all the three folders on /home to /data folder.
mv * /data
5. Once the folders have been moved, un-mount /data.
umount /data
6. Open /etc/fstab using your favourite text editor, e.g. nano or vi
nano /etc/fstab
or
vi /etc/fstab
7. On the last line of /etc/fstab, you will see something like this:
UUID=b17605c2-5939-4590-9261-4db4e23e30b8 /data ext4 defaults 1 2
Change "data" to "home" so it will become like this:
UUID=b17605c2-5939-4590-9261-4db4e23e30b8 /home ext4 defaults 1 2
Save the file.
8. Mount back the data-disk.
mount -a
9. Use df to verify that the data-disk is now mounted as /home.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_sccentos6464b14-lv_root
7.5G 3.3G 3.9G 47% /
tmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/vda1 485M 135M 325M 30% /boot
/dev/vdb1 89G 185M 84G 1% /home
10. Go to /home folder and verify if you can see all the 3 folders (admin, ftp, tmp) as well as an existing folder on data-disk (lost+found).
[root@directadmin home]# ls -la
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Jul 30 11:54 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 26 root root 4096 Jul 30 11:44 ..
drwx--x--x. 7 admin admin 4096 Jul 30 11:52 admin
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 4096 Aug 23 2012 ftp
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Jul 29 13:18 lost+found
drwxrwxrwt. 2 root root 4096 Jul 30 00:10 tmp
11. Restart DirectAdmin service
- For DirectAdmin running on CentOS 7 (newer template):
systemctl start directadmin.service
- For DirectAdmin running on CentOS 6 (older template):
/etc/init.d/directadmin start
That's it!
