cd /home/bobg//Public/nfs4exports/home and do a "mv . ../../"
I don't think this will work (maybe depending on the shell program) as the current working directory is in use. Bob had a problem but didn't say what went wrong (the example below uses zsh).
and everything in /home/bobg//Public/nfs4exports/home will be moved to /home/bobg/Public (up 2 directories). This will be fast and only move the file headers since both locations are on the same LV/mountpoint.
Bob: You can convince yourself that the above works by working thru an example.
% cd /tmp % mkdir -p a/b/c $ cd a/b/c $ touch d $ ls -l total 0 -rw-r--r--. 1 u u 0 Sep 16 16:20 d $ mv . ../../ mv: cannot move '.' to '../../.': Device or resource busy % cd - /tmp % cd a % mv b/c . % ls -l total 0 drwxr-xr-x. 2 u u 40 Sep 16 16:38 b drwxr-xr-x. 2 u u 60 Sep 16 16:20 c % ls -l c total 0 -rw-r--r--. 1 u u 0 Sep 16 16:20 d % ls -l b total 0
It ia now safe remove "b"

You should verify that your root partition has gained the same amount of space that you lost on the "/home" partition. As others have already mentioned, it should be a trivial operation to move the contents of "/home/bobg/Public/nfs4exports/home" to one of the parent directories because no files need to copied, just updating some directories.
° /I should have checked df -h before:
/[root@nfs bobg]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev tmpfs 1.8G 0 1.8G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 1.8G 1.3M 1.8G 1% /run /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-root 69G 6.9G 58G 11% / tmpfs 1.8G 8.0K 1.8G 1% /tmp /dev/sda2 976M 254M 655M 28% /boot /dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-home 3.6T 65G 3.3T 2% /home tmpfs 360M 8.0K 360M 1%
/run/user/987
tmpfs 360M 4.0K 360M 1% /run/user/1000
It shows 65GB removed from "/" and saved to "/home/bobg//Public/nfs4exports/home" which contains the saved files. It's a long file name but I guess I should just export that?
