|---|---|---|
| somethinginteres | I discovered today to my horror that my root partition is only 10GB and keep getting errors about it being full. I have tons of free space I could give to / from my /home partition I'm just not sure how to go about it. | 09:33 |
| nisshh | somethinginteres, easy, backup /home, shrink it a bit, grow / | 09:34 |
| somethinginteres | nisshh: when I shrink it by say 100GB that 100GB becomes unallocated I can't figure out how to give that then unallocated space back to / | 09:35 |
| nisshh | somethinginteres, i cant remember how its done in the GUI, but just have a poke around, it isnt hard to do, you just need to grow the / partition | 09:36 |
| nisshh | somethinginteres, sorry i cant help more, im kind of busy atm | 09:36 |
| somethinginteres | nisshh: no worries, I've been looking around but I'll keep on doing that. | 09:37 |
| nisshh | cool | 09:37 |
| somethinginteres | nisshh: gonna take about 20min to copy over for safe keeping, better safe than sorry though :) | 09:42 |
| nisshh | somethinginteres, yeah, thats exactly why i suggested it :) | 09:42 |
| somethinginteres | nisshh: everything's backed up. 40GB is marked as unallocated but gparted just won't let me give that space to the root partition. It just autochanges the size back to 10GB | 10:17 |
| nisshh | somethinginteres, yeah, i dunno, i think there is a resize option, try that | 10:17 |
| somethinginteres | nisshh: finally got it work, did not forsee it taking 4hrs though | 11:59 |
