Due to some brilliant decision making on my part when setting up the partition sizes on some of our DA servers, the /usr partition is only 5GB in size on them versus the 10GB on our other servers. As a result, these servers can't update PHP or MySQL because they're too close to the disk space limit. I was able to frankenstein a solution for one by moving and then symlinking the php directories inside CB while it was updating them but that's not a desirable solution to perform every time.
In a perfect world, I could just shut the servers down temporarily and then run GParted to fix things. Since they're VMs, I could probably rely on a snapshot as a backup in case things do go awry. Given the potential problems from a worst case scenario though, I'd prefer to leave it as a last resort approach.
While messing around with the mickey mouse'd symlink "fix", I noticed that CB will remove symlinks if they're already present before you update as well as after you update. I'm probably being overly cautious but want to make sure that moving the CB directory elsewhere and then symlinking it back into place won't cause problems as well.
Additionally if I'm missing some viable alternative solution besides symlinking or shutting down briefly to muck about with the partitions, I'm all ears.
