I just installed Ubuntu onto my hard drive from a USB drive. When I reached the partitions screen, I noticed it listed the full hard drive as "free space" even though I already had Windows 7 installed.
I knew I had about 50 GB of free space on the hard drive, so I partitioned sda1 for 35 GB and installed Ubuntu onto it, and partitioned sda2 for 4 GB of swap space.
hey I have an external drive that's messing up and missing free space.
in property's it reads total capacity as 931.5GB
931.5GB's used
and 72.0KB free space
but the total files in the drive only come to 442.2GB's worth of data
and I tried deleting a few things, then emptying the garbage bin
and no the free space stayed at 72.0KB
I recently had a hard drive partition vanish on me while moving the drive from one machine to another. In an attempt to fix the problem I took it out of my Ubuntu box and put it in a Windows machine to recover it. The program I used found what looked perfectly like the ext4 partition (correct disk usage, size, free space etc) so I wrote it to the disk.
I want to install Ubuntu 11 on my Dell Mini 9. Using ubuntu.com, I created a USB drive. I was successful in running Ubuntu 11 from the USB drive. However, I could not install Ubuntu 11 from the USB drive. There was a screen that had a checklist of three items on it. One of them was having enough free space on my hard disk, which I do not. The hard disk is just too small.
Hi,
I am currently trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 after using VMWare I decided to try a full install, I created a virtual partition as I currently had Windows XP Professional installed.
Hi all,
Wierd problem, when I map a Windows Drive to my Ubuntu HTPC Samba share, Windows reports the free space as the free space on my root partition?!!?
HTPC Ubuntu server:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 12G 6.5G 4.0G 62% /udev 1.6G 308K 1.6G 1% /dev
none 1.6G 104K 1.6G 1% /dev/shm
none
I am planning on installing Ubuntu 12 on top of Windows 7 as a dual-bootable system. I have completely emptied the E:// drive, equaling to almost 80 GB of free space. I want to install Ubuntu on this drive (thus leaving only the C:// and F:// drives for Windows).
I have a 200GB DESKTOP hard drive - set up according to a default LVM FEDORA 15 SETUP
However my home directory is full have to delete files / empty downloads to free 1-2 GB to use it
but disk u du show i have
50 GB FREE SPACE IN TMP AND /USR/TMP DIRECTORY
HOW DO I **DO IT SAFELY**
TO FREE THE SPACE IN THOSE EMPTY DIRECTORIES AND MAKE /HOME LARGER BY SAY IE 30GB
DO NOT THINK I NEED
Is it somehow possible to extend one's webspace by connecting to a server which has more space?
Lets say I have a remote server and a home server with plenty of free disk space. Can I somehow permanently mount the space on my home server on my remote server?
