Good Afternoon all,

I need to create a separate partition for /var and /tmp on my fresh RHEL 8 install. When I run FDISK -l the output is as follows:

Disk /dev/sda: 120 GiB, 128849018880 bytes, 251658240 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: 75084612-2288-4B31-94B2-4D077B14CAA7

/dev/sda1 2048 1230847 1228800 600M EFI System

Disk /dev/mapper/rhel-home: 44.5 GiB, 47806676992 bytes, 93372416 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes

I was looking at the parted command but have never done this before so thought I would ask the pros. Looking for cleanest way to do this keeping in mind that I can't add another drive to this system but only use the one single HDD it has.

-Thanks for your time

OK, you are using LVM, that'll make this a little easier.

Can you give output of ...

vgdisplay
 
no flags... are you root?

If that doesn't work...

We can try ..

cat /etc/fstab
 
Moving this to Distribution Specific - Redhat & Derivatives.
