Hi all,

My forum database is 2.8GB on my 300GB dedicated server. The hosting company have set it up so that the root partition where the databases are stored /var/lib/mysql only have 15GB allocated.

The /home directory has well over 200GB available but this is a different partition and there's very little space required here in general as most content is added to mysql databases.

The partition that the database is located on is maxed out at 99% and I'm running out of files to delete to free up space. The hosting company are telling me to reduce the size of the database by erasing lots of older posts but this is half the attraction of my forum and seems insane when there is so much space elsewhere on the drive.

Any suggestions?
