We have a server that we setup to host an application. Our vendor configured it, but now, they are saying that one of the partitions is too small and we need more space.



enter image description here



Basically the /u01 partition is 98% full. We added some space and I mounted it on /mnt/esmdata because initially my thought was to do a symlink on the folder that is the culprit for size.



However, our vendor said that symlinks will not work so now I'm not sure how to get the space on /mnt/esmupgdata onto /u01



Do I use mount --move? is it possible to copy all the contents to /mnt/esmupgdata the mount that /dev/sdb onto /u01?
