Mount a new volume under /var or make a link from dedicated volume

$ vim /etc/fstab
# new line:
/dev/vdb             /mnt/data            ext4       defaults              0 1
$ mount -a
# link to locations where require large space:
$ ln -s /mnt/data/docker /var/lib/docker

Note: the method below maybe dangerous, more steps required to make it work (e.g. copy existing data)

$ vim /etc/fstab
# new line:
/dev/vdb            /var              ext4    defaults                  0 1
# reboot system
