Aug 29, 2011When partitioning disk devices for F14 on my new x86-64 box, I allocated 100G for / mounted on /dev/sda1. It's now 100% full. I have 365G free space available on the disk. Can I somehow extend /dev/sda1 to use some of this free space?

Jul 13, 2010i installed ubuntu 10.04 with wubi on Windows 7. It works perfectly. And, i've only installed 5GB rather that 20GB in my partition (from the wubi option at the first time). I made this partition only for ubuntu but silly me i've installed only 5GB rather than to chose 20GB Now the ubuntu is low on disk space! it' only 120MB left from 5GB. My question is, is there any way expand it to 20GB so the partition is fully for home folder, etc? I want my 15GB!
View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Cannot Expand EXT4 Partition With Unallocated Space
Nov 20, 2010I clean installed Ubuntu 10.10 by shrinking my Windows 7 partition slightly. Now that I want to expand my Linux partition, I shrunk my Win 7 partition from Windows OS. From Ubuntu, the partition manager shows /dev/sda1 contains the Win 7 and unallocated partition. /dev/sda2 contains the Linux and swap partitions. I can't seem to expand my Linux partition (ext4) in sda2 with the unallocated space in sda1. I also can't shift the unallocated space in sda1 to sda2. Any idea how to expand my main Linux partition with the unallocated space?

View 7 Replies View RelatedRed Hat / Fedora :: Recover The Space Under /home And Expand The Root Partition?
Jun 29, 2011So, I wan't completely paying attention to the default partitioning that Red Hat Enterprise 6 does.
I was setting up a base image for VMWare and the disk was 200GB, but for some reason the default is for about 40% to go to the root partition and then the rest of it to go to /home (this doesn't include the 2GB or so in swap).
Is there an easy way to recover the space under /home and expand the root partition? Assume there are no user accounts created.
Hardware :: Partition Size Detected By Testdisk Bigger Than Disk Size
Mar 17, 2011a client brought in an 160GB external HDD and wanted to get the files off it, there appeared to be no partitions on the disk but i thought it may have been formatted to use the whole disk. I tried to mount it as the various FS types the client thought it may have been to no avail.
I ran testdisk on it which told me that it previously had a mac partition table and a 210GB partition on it (which is larger than the disk) could anyone enlighten me as to whether or not this is even possible, and if so how could i retrieve the data?

Ubuntu :: "expand" The Partition Gaining Space From The Storage One?
Mar 10, 2010I have a 300 Gb Hard drive, I used to have windows xp on it but decided to install ubuntu, so what I did (after some suggestions) was to create 3 partitions, one of 30 Gb for windows (I use Adobe software), one of 10 Gb for Ubuntu 9.10 and the rest as a common partition used for storage. Started ok, but I really got hooked with ubuntu and now my partition is full!. My question is ( and here is where I show my deep ignorance and shame): can I "expand" the ubuntu partition gaining space from the storage one? If not, how many Gb would you recommend for an Ubuntu partition? I'm using a lot of music/video/graphics production software.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Expand Partition To The Left "Quickly?"
Oct 17, 2010I would like to expand my root partition to the left. I already moved my 100MB /boot partition overand that took like 12 hours with Gparted, so no way do I want to use it for my 60GB partition to gain another 2GB. Is there a faster way? (Besides wiping the partition, creating the new larger one and reinstalling Ubuntu? )
I've heard LVM might be good, but it sounds like I have to do that from scratch as well, and I'd rather not lose all my stuff and start over, I just want to clean up my messy partitioning.

Server :: Increasing Size Of Extended Partition To Allow Creation Of New Partition
May 18, 2010I've got a server that needs more space. To achieve this we added space (by extending the VMware disk attached to it).Normally this isn't an issue, because we just add an new partition and LVM it from there, but this host predates our deployment of LVM everywhere.
Our current theory is that the unallocated sectors can not be assigned because they aren't part of the extended partition, and thus ... we go in a circle.So what i believe the way forward is to extend sda4 so that i can then create an sda10 inside of it. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I was thinking gparted may do the trick ... but being a server i'm in runlevel3, with no X...
SUSE / Novell :: Change Partition Size On Root Partition?
Aug 2, 2009I am relatively new to Linux and Opensuse. I created the / root partition and now it is growing and maxing out. I have partitioner available to me but how do I change the partition size when the root partition is mounted.

View 4 Replies View RelatedOpenSUSE :: Kde Partition Manager - How To Size Up A Partition
Sep 17, 2010I just looked at the "posting permissions" and unfortunately I'm unable to insert the screen copy of the kde manager's representation of the goal I want to hit.I got a dual boot system with 4 hard disks and grub installed on /dev/sdd1. Windows xp sp2 (only used for professional audio tools, don't whip me ^^) is installed on /dev/sdc1. The disk sdc is partitioned with the following settings:
Code:
/dev/sdc1 * 1 498 4000153+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/sdc2 499 18922 147990780 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sdc5 499 1494 8000338+ b W95 FAT32
/dev/sdc6 1495 18922 139990378+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
When I partitioned the disk I was believing 4 Go were sufficient for windows xp but after years I realized that many applications were using the C: by default (no way to change it thru regedit or another workaround, hard-coding probably) installing stuffs and under windows this is impossible to use such blessed things like the unix's symbolic links !So right now I'm a little tight with the remaining space to work with windows xp. (Of course the swap file has been moved to another partition since the first day I installed xp...)
I have is to use the 7Go of unused space on this disk to size up the /dev/sdc1 partition. When using kde partition manager I noticed that there is no way to use the unused disk space to size up /dev/sdc1 directly.Do you think if I create a partition with the 7 Go of unused space that there is a way to size up /dev/sdc1 without messing up the bootloader ? I don't think GRUB matters about the new partition, it should get the /dev/sdc7 entry. For the backup there is no problem this partition is completely backed up every two weeks (as an image) so the datas may not be lost as a real catastrophic... but if there is danger for the other partitions... that's will be more annoying... but solvable ^^
Once partitioned I believe that there will be a way to "merge" the /dev/sdc1 and /dev/sdc7 partitions and then I would enjoy a new xp partition with 7Gb of free space (it would change from my actual 300Mb !!).Technically it would be possible this is just a question of chaining the different blocks each others and refer to the new space added.The last block in /dev/sdc1 would point to the first block that starts /dev/sdc7 and "that's all"... and /dev/sdc7 would disappear as a partition.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Partition Gparted Fdisk / When Reduced The Size Of Some Linux Partitions Using Gparted?
Sep 18, 2009I have 3 Ubuntu installations & a PCLINUXOS, plus Windows XP installed on one hard disk. I still can boot to each one of them and can mount each one using Ubuntu.
The problem "may" have occurred when I reduced the size of some linux partitions using gparted. I still have plenty of space in each of those partitions.
When I started gparted all of the HD was unallocated. I did that from each ubuntu installation and the PCLINUX installation, plus LIVECDs. All indicated the space was unallocated.
When I did an fdisk -l from a Puppy Linux LiveCD I got a normal start and ends of each partition.
When I tried it from Ubuntu installation or live cd, I received the following types of responses:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda5
Disk /dev/sda5: 28.5 GB, 28566397440 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3473 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo fdisk -u /dev/sda5
The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 3473.There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK) Plus the Windows partition seems to go over its limits.
Since all of my OS installations are still working, I don't know how critical this is. From reading another post, I understand this might be able to be fixed by making some changes in fstab.
General :: Move And Expand GNU / System Ubuntu Maverick Folder?
