http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi folks hows it going? Now I have a really weird issue where ubuntu is getting my hdd free space wrong. So here is the story I used clonezilla to move my old 10gb partition on my old hdd. To my new 150gb partition on my new hdd. All went smooth and after updating grub I was good to go however when I started ubuntu and checked my filesystem space. It said I had 2.8 GB left like my old hdd when I should have 142 GB left. So what is going on and how do I fix this? Here is a screen-shot http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2936/screenshotf.png Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in Advanced :-) (Hardware)

[ubuntu] Space available? 16 weeks 4 days ago

Hi, although I don't consider my self an absolute beginner, I feel like this question belongs here :) Basically, if you go to System Monitor > File Systems, and you look at your EXT4 Ubuntu partition, something looks wrong to me....

Why is "Free Space" 11.3GB but "Available Space" is 10.3GB?

Before I started this, I went into Windows 8 and reduced it's size to allow roughly 10GB of unallocated data. I want to increase Ubuntu 12.10's partition to fill that void.

I ran Ubuntu (Trial) from my CD as told to in multiple tutorials and ran GParted.

[ubuntu] free up space 42 weeks 5 days ago

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.

It's the first time I install Ubuntu. I need some advise to plan a good partition strategy for a Ubuntu (12.04) + Windows7 (64bit) system.

I have 1TB Hard disk, 8GB RAM. I'd like to have a big partition NTFS to share data between the two OS I often use a lot of (big) apps. (So my partition Widows C: must takes about 150GB)

What is the partition size should I put for root and home?

/ (???

So I am running dual boot with Windows 7 (I'm typing this using ubuntu) and for some reason I accidentally made my Windows 7 partition VERY SMALL. I was at the menu where you drag the two slides and I didn't know which one was which so I assumed that the right side was for Linux. So I dragged the line as far as I could to the left.

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong section to post this in.

Today I started getting warning messages about the filesystem root running out of space.
