This is a real production scenario.

One of my client's mq setup does not have /var/mqm/log as separate file sytem. I recommended to have separate file system for log directory so that there is not a potential problem of system crash due to disk full.

Now they are ready to change the setup. As this is in production, there is already /var/mqm/log directory and log files in the directory. If a new file system is setup for log, can we just copy these log files from the old directory and put into the new file sysetm? Is there any potential problem? FYI, the log system is circular logging.


We definitely delete the old directory.

I would appreciate your input.

Thanks a lot

(1) shutdown down the qmgr(s)
(2) mount the new file system to a temp moint point
(3) copy the files over (keeping permissions)
(4) remove the files from the old /var/mqm directory
(5) remount the new fs at that point
(6) restart the qmgr.(s)
