if you dont want downtime you can see about adding 2 more drives and building another raid1 array

Do you have a separate /var and /usr? If not, then user MySQL databases are most likely taking up space (/var). The / partition usually consists of /root and /etc, as well as a few others depending on how your system was setup. If /var is on the / partition, try deleting a few old logs. Also clear out /root, and check and see if there are lots of old source files in /usr/local/src and /usr/src (provided /usr is on your / partition). Or, if you have extra space on the drive, you might be able to recreate /var as a separate partition (I'm not exactly sure on how you do this, but it is sometimes possible). Alex

there must be alot of files in /root clear them up and you should not have any issues.

wait, I did not ask you do delete all the files in there. You might have download huge files or other stuff on /root, I ask you to clear them up by deleting unwanted files that you have download. Sorry that you mis-understand my words

go into / type du -sh /* exclude the mounts and find what folders that might be taking up space. If you dont know what to delete find someone that will help.

If that was the case, you might need to update your php.ini to the new location.
