Is it possible to move space or link one ext3 file system to another ?

Shivananda RaoDec 3 2015 — edited Dec 3 2015

Hello,

I'm not sure if I'm on the right space. I have a machine which is purely used for testing and has OEL 5.5 installed on it.

I have a new ext3 file system (/u04) of 15G and would like to merge it (or move this 15G) to the ext3 file system /u01. Is it possible to achieve this ?

[root@ora1-3 ~]# df -h

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/sda1             9.7G  4.5G  4.7G  49% /

tmpfs                 1.5G  176M  1.4G  12% /dev/shm

/dev/sda8             9.7G  155M  9.1G   2% /opt

/dev/sda6             9.7G  151M  9.1G   2% /tmp

/dev/sda5              20G  8.6G  9.8G  47% /u01

/dev/sda3              20G  8.0G   11G  44% /u02

/dev/sda2              20G  1.7G   17G   9% /u03

/dev/sde1              15G  166M   14G   2% /u04



[root@ora1-3 ~]# cat /etc/fstab
