Easiest thing to do is move the media directory to your other partition, then symlink media in your Magento root directory to the new location.

For example, if your Magento root in in:

/home/xxx/public_html

and your new media directory is:

/home2/xxx/media

ln -s /home2/xxx/media /home/xxx/public_html/media

Is "public_html" mandatory? The CentOS Apache directory is "/var/www/html" .

No, public_html was just an example. In your case:

ln -s /path/to/other/partition/media /var/www/html/media
