Running out of disk space

eFa 4.0.4 - CentOS 7

Free Disk Space
/ 5.52GB [11%]
/boot 772.73MB [76%]
/home 100.95GB [100%]
/tmp 5.52GB [11%]
/var/tmp 5.52GB [11%]

/ = 50GB
/home = 100GB

Everyting eFa gets stored in/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine (=36GB)
So effectively, only 1/3, of available disk space is used?

Is it possible to move quarantine to /home?

Partitioning is done on eFa4 based on whatever you chose when you installed the OS.

You should not try to move it to /home, instead, you may want to add a new disk or expand the existing disk. If you add a new disk, you can mount it to /var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine (after moving stuff there with a temporary mount in /mnt) or expand the partition and filesystem for root.

If you are constrained for space, you can create a new, smaller /home partition and move /home to the new partition and dump the old /home. If you used LVM then it should be fairly straightforward to allocate the freed up space to root.
