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?
Hi! Recently I bought a HTPC for my living room and I ran into a problem I was hopping you guys could help me with!
So, currently the HTPC runs Ubuntu 12.04 and my desktop runs Windows 7. The thing I want to do is to share all the files in the external hard-drive on the HTPC with my Windows desktop.
This is what my laptop's partitions look like
windows: about 100 GB
Ubuntu root: 50 GB (mounted at /)
Free space: 50 GB
Ubuntu home partition: the rest of the space (mounted at /home)
I want to install Keep installing different distros at the free space starting with Fedora as I want to experiment with distros. What I also want to do is that share my home partition with ubuntu.

In Nautilus, I can easily see the physical size (total capacity, free space, used space) of any mounted disk, e.g.
I was able to transfer a few folders to the ubuntu/samba share. The copy failed and got a no free disk space error. The samba share has 1% used of the 500gb I have available. Any ideas why samba doesnt let me copy files?
Fedora 17, laptop.
System monitor and df command show:
~# df -h /home
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda4 251G 240G 0 100% /home
(system monitor also says: Free: 11.7 GiB)
If I try to write a file it says that there is no space available
(echo something > file --> write error: No space left on device).
However, root can write!
I've been having a lot of trouble getting an update to hardy heron. I get started on updating to 10.04 and partway through it says i don't have enough free space, free up some space and retry. THis is on an old compaq presario with a dual boot of windows ME. I don't care about the Windows.
I have windows sda2 and then, next to it, extended partition with ubuntu sda6. Can I reallocate some ubuntu's free space to sda2? I know I can boot from livecd gparted and cut some GB from sda6, but then unallocated space will be after sda6 and not before, am I right? Is it possible to add unallocated space to sda2 or merge is not possible due to partitions position?
Hello,
Moving from FC17 to FC18 I decided to free some space (taken from swap and the root partition).
Both partitions were created in an extended partition, ending up with 2GB of free space in the begining of the Extd. partition and additional 1.6GB in the end.
There are other partitions (active and used by linux) in between, home, root, etc.
The question(s) is:
