| `/home` | User folders accessible via SFTP | Moveable to a hard disk |
| `/home/yunohost.backup` | YunoHost's backups | Depending on your backup strategy, you may want to place this folder on a separate drive from your data or databases. |
| `/home/yunohost.app` | Heavy data from YunoHost applications (nextcloud, matrix...) | Moveable to a hard disk |
| `/home/yunohost.multimedia` | Heavy data shared between several applications | Moveable to a hard disk |
| `/var/lib/mysql` | Database used by applications | Ideally leave on SSD for performance reasons |
| `/var/lib/postgresql` | Database used by applications | Ideally leave on SSD for performance reasons |
| `/var/mail` | User e-mails | Movable to a hard disk |
| `/var/www` | Program of installed web applications | Ideally leave on SSD for performance reasons |
| `/var/log` | Event logs (pages consulted, connection attempts, hardware errors...). | This directory should not take up too much space, if it grows quickly, it may be a looping error that should be resolved. |
| `/opt` | Program and dependency of some YunoHost applications. | Ideally leave it on the SSD for performance reasons. For nodejs applications it is possible to do some cleanup of unused versions. |
| `/boot` | Kernels and boot files | Do not move unless you know what you are doing. It can happen that too many kernels are kept, it is possible to do some cleanup. |

| `/home` | Cartelle Utenti accessibile via SFTP | Spostabile |
| `/home/yunohost.backup` | Backup di YunoHost | In base alla vostra strategia di backup è consigliabile spostare questa cartella su un disco diverso da quello che contiene i dati e i database |
| `/home/yunohost.app` | Cartella di grandi dimensioni contenente i dati delle varie applicazioni (nextcloud, matrix) | Spostabile |
| `/home/yunohost.multimedia` | Cartella di grandi dimensioni condivisa tra varie applicazioni (nextcloud, matrix) | Spostabile |
| `/var/lib/msql` | Database utilizzato dalle applicazioni | Per motivi di velocità è consigliato lasciarlo sul disco principale |
| `/var/lib/postgresql` | Database utilizzato dalle applicazioni | Per motivi di velocità è consigliato lasciarlo sul disco principale |
| `/var/mail` | Mail degli utenti | Spostabile |
| `/var/www` | Cartella delle applicazioni WEB | Per motivi di velocità è consigliato lasciarla sul disco principale |
| `/var/log` | Log degli eventi (messaggi di errore, connessioni...) | Questa cartella dovrebbe essere di dimensioni ridotte, in caso contrario potrebbe esserci un errore nella rotazione dei log che deve essere risolto. |
| `/opt` | Programmi e dipendenze di alcune applicazioni YunoHost | Per motivi di velocità è consigliato lasciare sul disco principale. Per le applicazioni nodejs è possibile recuperare dello spazio cancellando le versioni non in uso |
| `/boot` | Kernel e file di avvio | Non spostare se non perfettamente a conoscenza delle possibili conseguenze. Si possono eliminare vecchi kernel non in uso |

- Schedule a moment when it'll be OK to shutdown the server. The steps to be performed, even if they are relatively simple, can sometimes seem technical and require in any case **to take your time**.
- You'll need to know how to connect as root on your system, typically via [SSH](/admin/command_line). (Note: while logged in as an admin user, you can become `root` with `sudo su` or `sudo -i`, which is sometimes more convenient than prefixing every command with `sudo`)
- Know the basic commands `cd`, `ls`, `mkdir`, `rm`.
- Prepare a backup in case things don't work out as planned
- Have extra storage (SSD, hard drive, USB stick) connected to your server via USB or SATA

<FAIcon icon="fa-exclamation-triangle"/> **Formatting a disk means deleting all the data on it!** Be careful not to get the name wrong, as this may result in formatting a different disk than the one you want! In the example given earlier, it was `/dev/sda`. If your disk is already "clean", you can skip this step.

<FAIcon icon="fa-exclamation-triangle"/> **Se il vostro disco è già formattato potete saltare questa parte. La formattazione di un disco comporta la cancellazione di tutti i dati presenti! Ponete attenzione nel digitare il nome del disco, potreste formattare un disco diverso da quello dove volete intervenire! Nell'esempio sopra, il disco si chiama `/dev/sda`. Se il vostro disco è già formattato potete saltare questa parte.
