repartition a dedicated server after OS installation?

[danf.1979]

Hi!

I'm getting a debian dedicated server, but it comes with default partitions. I want to know if there are people here with experience on partitioning remotely through ssh. I need the /var partition to be the biggest one.
Are there some tutorials out there for partitioning a system in this way?

If you don't use LVM, take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_resizing_ext3_partitions

Otherwise take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_lvm
