How to change partition table on my harddrive.
I want to reduce the size of / partition on 500 GB hard-drive, currently size of / partition is 250 GB.
I know this question is asked many times before, however with me it is just a bit different i guess.
root@localhost:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 224G 5.2G 208G 3% /
udev 1.9G 4.0K 1.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 777M 260K 777M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /run/shm
/dev
Some days ago I cloned my /dev/sda1 partition with clonezilla in partition-to-partition mode to /dev/sda3.
It worked, but now that I've finished the setup of system in /dev/sda3, I wanna reinstall /dev/sda1 for other stuffs.
This partition is NOT mounted, but ubuntu's DISK UTILITY thinks it is, while it doesn't see as mounted the currently active / partition /dev/sda3.
This is the df- TH output
Free space in my root partition is continually reducing without any apparent reason. It 'll reduce 2 to 20 MiB every reboot and I don't know why. /var is on a separate partition so logs aren't the ones jamming up.
This has been perplexing me for some time. I'm on Ubuntu 11.04. My root partition is filling up and I can't figure out what's causing it. Even stranger, when I run df -h, this is the output:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 9.2G 8.8G 0 100% /
As you see, there should be about 400 MB free, but Avail shows 0. What could be causing this?
As the output of df -h shows here, something is eating up 5GB of free space. So, it's not available to use.
I'm also noticing sometimes that the hard disk gets filled up to 100% sometimes. So, I had to restart the machine or delete some unncessary files. Only noticed these in /home partition.
On an Ubuntu 12.04 server, normal users can no longer create or add to files in /home, encountering a "No space left on device" error.
The /home directory has a capacity of 1.7 terabytes and as far as I can tell is nowhere near full in terms of actual data stored or inodes used.
df -h shows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2 1.0T 18G 955G 2% /
udev
I have a Ubuntu 12.04 VM running on VMWares ESXi 5.1.
The server (VM) itself has run out of space, the results of df -h are as follows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 19G 17G 1.2G 94% /
udev 490M 4.0K 490M 1% /dev
tmpfs 200M 232K 199M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 498M 0 498M 0% /
Hello everyone,Because I use only one partition for everything, I recently resized my root partition to make it bigger.
