How is the space under / (root) managed? Is it freely editable?

From what I can see from the documentation in the wiki, using the Manual
Installation give you root access to the / root partition. This means
that you can edit, add and remove files everywhere.

Is the space of the root partition different from the space available in
disk mounted on /srv? Is this space counted towards the disk quota?

Yes, I have the same question. I was reading elsewhere on the site that
you get the space you purchased in /srv and an additional 2gb /
partition for your OS (although my server seems to have a 2.4 gb /
partition).

I find this to be less than ideal. I would like my purchased space to be
available on / since, for me anyway, that is where I want to store my
data. Setting up data stores on /srv is annoying. Also, I see no mention
of my 5gb partition in my fstab file, and I'm therefore not sure how to
deal with it. I'd maybe like to mount it as /home or /var

Hi,

Yes with Gandi MI (Expert), No in with Gandi AI.

....if you are root :)

Schema:

/ -> System disk: Not counted in quota
/srv -> mounted disks, counted in quota

Jonathan, how about my issue? How can I get more space for /var?

I also suppose that / is not RAID stored while /srv is. Is it true?

What is the size of /?

I'd like to know this, too. Is it safe to store data (e.g. mail spool
files) in default locations on /?

All mount points are RAID6 (=safe):

I purchased a three share server (total disk space: 15 GB). 

I attached the 15 GB disk to the server (took more than an hour) and
then rebooted the server.

Now after restarting the server, I did a df -h to see the disk space:

df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1            2.4G  676M  1.6G  30% /
tmpfs                 385M     0  385M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                   10M   20K   10M   1% /dev
tmpfs                 385M  4.0K  385M   1% /dev/shm

The 15 GB disk is NOT mounted.

My /etc/fstab contents are:

/dev/xvda1    /                 ext3    rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro  0 
  1
/dev/xvda2    none              swap    rw        0    0
none         /proc             proc    rw,nosuid,noexec  0    0

mic2574661@alpha:~$ mount
/dev/xvda1 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)


How do I get my 15 GB disk space to work? I have sent 4 support tickets
to Gandi but NO reply at all from them.

Any one can help me sort this?

Thanks.

Hi.. I don't know about your server, but on my server the "attached
disk" does not appear on the fstab.. (but it is there if I do a df )..
it is like it is not using the "normal" mounting but something
"automatic" ???
Try to detach and attach the disk again, but any-how you will not see it
within fstab...

Hi Antonello,

Have you read this wiki page:
