Today I got access to a remote server with Ubuntu 16.04, basic installation. As far as I can see I got a small partition with the OS and a very big partition.
Not that experienced with Ubuntu I ask myself whether it is possible to split up that big partition into a software/application part and a data part, remotely and without reinstalling Ubuntu. Is that possible?
Additional information: the server is set-up the following:
NAME FSTYPE SIZE MOUNTPOINT LABEL
sda 10.9T
├─sda1 1M
├─sda2 ext2 477M /boot
├─sda3 swap 3.8G [SWAP]
├─sda4 ext4 3.8G /tmp
└─sda5 ext4 10.9T /
My idea is to have diskspace for installing software (like Talend, R-studio et cetera) and two separate parts, one for data(bases) and one for big data (hdfs). But I have no clue to get this done....
