Allot Free Space From One Partition To Other

Dear gurus,

I am using NAS with Linux BizNAS-02H5 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux OS version.

I am facing problem with rootfs / , it is 100% full, its total size is 9.7GB.

Now i want to increase the space of rootfs, i have free space on attached drives, both partioned and unpartioned space is free,

How can I mount space on root folder or ( / ) folder.

Regards,

Khurram Khurshid

Trying to upgrade I get the following message "The upgrade needs a total of 913 M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 525 M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean". I went to the terminal and entered sudo apt-get clean. I have used Gparted to re-size each of of the partitions on the Linux side of my machine but I still get the message. What should I do?

Hello, I hope someone can assist. I have installed 17 on 2 laptops and 17.1 on another all with windows 8 upgraded to 8.1 Now I have a new PC with 8.1 and cannot get 17.1 to install. I go thru all the steps but when I get past "something else" and choose the "free space" that I partitioned in windows and hit install the window pops up with "no root file system is defined" "Please correct from partitioning menu.. I have never had this happen, did I not do something? There is 1 300mb(fat32, efi) partition, ntfa, free space(which is where I am trying to install Linux), 1 small and 1 large "free space". Then the define for boot loader installation, which I do not remember needing to do before. Can someone please help. The PC is an Acer Aspire, amd10, 3.7ghz, quad core, radeon hd 8670 graphics , 1 terabyte hdd, 4gb ram, windows 8.1

Hi

I am very suprised! I previously had a Windows 7 desktop, dual boot with Windows Server 2012 R2. I didn't care much about 2012 R2, so I went with a Debian server on another computer.

I wanted to triple boot my computer, so I looked at my BIOS to see if my computer has UEFI support, but it doesnt, so I am not able to boot to GPT. One decision lead to another, and I decided not to install Hackintosh. As part of this process, I had converted it to GPT, and then back to MBR when installing Windows 8.1 Pro. Everything went well.

When I went to install Debian 7, it was not recognizing anything on that drive. I found out it was a backup GUID partition table left over. I used fixparts found on rodsbooks.com, and I fixed the disk partition table.

Now this is where things get weird. Before installing, I created a primary partition for /, and an extended partition with 5 logical partitions inside it. I installed Debian 7 from a live install DVD, and I manually created the partitions. I created a 4GB /, 16GB /usr, 4GB /var, and 64GB /home. Then I left a bunch of free space (~145GB) and then 16GB swap space. (I have 8GB ram, and I plan to hibernate sometimes).

After a successful installation, installation of packages, reboots, and frustration with PCI card problems, I rebooted to Windows 8.1.

Upon opening diskpart gui, I was greeted with the picture attached.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

hello everyone,

when i press intro to login, the pc act like a refresh page... no login at all,

so im wondering if i remove olds kernels i can get some free space, if this not help,

Hey,

My PC has 298 GB of which approximately 179 GB is unallocated. The remaining estimated 119 GB is being used by two distro's: PCLinuxOS and Manjaro 0.8.12

When I have tried to add a new distro, having plenty of free space, I usually get a message telling me I can not proceed further due to my having four primary partitions.

I have a Swap partition of sufficient size to handle multiple distros almost 10 GB.

I installed PCLOS first and then Manjaro. I gave each approximately 12 GB for their 'Root' (/) Their Home (/home) partition was roughly 40 GB each.

{/dev/sda1 swap /dev/sda2 Extended (/dev/sda5, dev/sda6) "PCLinuxOS" /dev/sda3. /dev/sda4 "Manjaro 0.8.12"

For /dev/sda 5 & 6 I used 'Reiserfs' file system. For /dev/sda 3 & 4, I used Ext4.}

The way I look at it my root and home partitions are 'primary' thus taking up the four primary allowed. I seem ti either recall or seen somewhere, that beside 'Primary there was something called 'Logical'

Starting with PCLinux as a base could I make a new installation of Manjaro where (/) would be Primary and (/home) would be Logical?

Or would I need to start totally over with fresh installs of both Manjaro ant PCLinux?? Then make (/) primary and (/home) logical?

Would such a move allow me to install additional distros?

A thought could I make the changes in Gparted while keeping the distros as they are, just making the changes [primary & logical?]

TIA

Guys i think this is a pretty common problem but i am facing it and i am unable to find a solution (

So here is what happened. I performed dual booting into through Xubuntu10.4 and this will happen because i wanted to increase the memory of my Xubuntu platform.

I removed some space from my C drive and with the free space, i created another partition which then causes this problem.

hello,

i am using slackware 14.1 and my partition table is given below
Code:

 sda1                    Primary   ext4                             60003.42 
    sda2                    Primary   swap                              8998.46
    sda3                    Primary   ext4                            119998.61
                            Logical   Free Space                           0.10*
    sda5        NC          Logical   Linux                           120739.34*
    sda6        NC          Logical   ntfs                            190356.39*
                            Logical   Free Space                          11.56

and i want to change Code:

sda5        NC          Logical   Linux                           120739.34*

Logical to primary partition.i don't know how to do it.i searched over internet but i can't understand could u any body please guide me how to do it.Thanks in advance.

So LVM has taken me by surprise, especially working with all of these virtual servers.

I have Linux servers in VMWare, and I know how to grow hard disks there and how they are tied back to /dev/sd*, however what I'm not sure about is how do I know what Volume Group and Logical Volume they are tied too?

If I isssue df -ha I can see where the various partitions are tied to /dev/mapper/Vol Group/Logical Vol

and I issue fdisk -l and I can see the space and what is tied to /dev/sd*, however how do I tie to two together so I know who has what space and how to grow or shrink that space?

I found an older thread he

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ds-for-699073/

However I still don't understand how to bridge between the two.

thanks

I was trying to do an update using Update Manager and I got the error message:

No space left on device), E:IO Error saving source cache, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I have attached a copy of my disk usage and it shows root as 100%. I thought that I had put the Home folder on it's own partition but I guess not.

I have also included the results of the ls -l command but fail to see what is using the space.

I am using LinuxMint Linux version 3.11-2-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.1 (Debian 4.8.1-10) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1 (2013-11-13)

Thanks for your help in advance.
