I have these two directories mounted on their respective file systems:
/dev/sda5 300G 18G 283G 6% /opt
/dev/sda6 58G 76M 58G 1% /srv
The situation is: /srv needs more disk space than /opt. Thus, I want to mount /srv on sda5 and mount /opt on sda6. Just an exchange between file systems.
Is it possible? How can I do this?
filesystems mount suse

Yes but they would need to be unmounted. You would need to boot off a live media, copy the data over to "independent" media using dd, and then copy them back in reverse. Finally the mount points would need to be changed in /etc/fstab

Understood. But I think this will not be possible. I think that a better approach is to resize sda5 and sda6. Thanks for your answer.
