=== oracle_ is now known as oracle [09:32] Anyone here a Gparted ninja? [09:33] 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. [09:34] somethinginteres, easy, backup /home, shrink it a bit, grow / [09:35] 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 / [09:36] 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] somethinginteres, sorry i cant help more, im kind of busy atm [09:37] nisshh: no worries, I've been looking around but I'll keep on doing that. [09:37] cool [09:42] nisshh: gonna take about 20min to copy over for safe keeping, better safe than sorry though :) [09:42] somethinginteres, yeah, thats exactly why i suggested it :) [10:17] 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] somethinginteres, yeah, i dunno, i think there is a resize option, try that [11:59] nisshh: finally got it work, did not forsee it taking 4hrs though [12:02] * Blank___ is having fun with hard drive cloning and stubborn windows [12:11] Blank___: yeah that sounds enthralling :) [12:12] somethinginteres, you bet >.< [12:13] Blank___: thank goodness for livecds that's all I can say. At least while the comp is doing stuff -I- can be doing stuff [12:26] somethinginteres, indeed...
