i was using vista in my laptop, recently installed ubuntu in another drive partition which is 69 GB. but during ubuntu installation i gave only 16GB to ubuntu from this drive. i guess the remaining 69 GB - 16 GB = 53 GB is unused space now.. now how can i allocate all 69GB in that drive to ubuntu ?
View 5 RepliesTried installing using update-manager -d and received notification that my root does not have adequate space. Removed most of what I can and I am still short 560 mb or so. Even risking the removal of some questionable items I just don't see freeing up this much space to make it happen.Is there another way to install 10.04?Is there a way to increase the space allocation to root?Stupid question but, can I delete the image file for 2.6.31-20 without affecting the 2.6.31-20 version? Even if I can still not large enough to get to the 560 mb.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've tried installing UNR on a 1GB flash drive in the past, and on two occasions it completely broke due to lack of disk space. When I say broke, it was when I was trying to install or upgrade packages, it said it ran out of disk space, everything slowed right down, and in the end I had to restart. I was put into a recovery shell and after poking around for about 30 minutes, gave up. Then reinstalled.
Now my shiny new 4GB flash drive is split into two sections, one for documents (1.9GB) and one for the installation+persistency file (1.9GB). I went about updating the UNR system, adding software I need (some of which is quite big, anti-virus software, lyx etc), and quickly found the old warning message: disk space low. hastily make some free space (apt-get clean, delete a big firefox cache), and post this message. My questions:how do I find out how much disk space is left on this 1.9GB partition - specifically the persistency file? I've tried disk usage analyzer, also du -h, but can't really understand it. I want to be able to see ahead of time when I am short of disk space. I would like to switch to using XFCE instead of gnome for speed and disk space. Is this possible? What is the best way to switch, without risking maxing-out disk space and crippling the system again? is there are way to take a snapshot of the whole partition? I would like to back it up in case it goes haywire again. Would I just want to copy the persistency file, that's it?
I want to add Fedora 14 to my triplecore 3GB RAM computer which has windows, Fedora 12 & ubuntu installed. What are the recommendation (e.g. size) for harddisk partition allocation? I can reuse the swap partition, can't I? Should I install Fedora 14 to a single partition (ie. /)? Should I use only ext4?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having mysterious problems with my comp recently and I think it might have to do with my OS not releasing filespace. Previously, my OS partition was full, then I deleted/moved some files, but now it says that still no space is available:
[root@cluster log]# df -h (simplified):
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 7.9G 7.6G 0 100% /
/dev/md0 459G 110G 327G 26% /export
[root@cluster log]#
The OS being /dev/sda1 (I am 99% sure, didn't set it up originally) and is CentOS4. As you can see, I have only used 7.6GB, and I should have 300MB available. Only thing I can think of is that when it was full, I moved matlab from there to the /export drive and added in a symbolic link to where it was on the OS drive so it would still work ok. Could this be why the space is not being freed up? We are in the process of installing a 16TB drive so we can free up some space or expand the partition, but somebody else here at work is handling that, so some other option that I could do would be best.
We are using Nagios to monitor our servers. One of the items we monitor is the diskspace. We use the following code in our config file:
Code:
define service{
use generic-service,srv-pnp
host_name servername
service_description C: Drive Space
check_command check_nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
code....
The check for the C-drive works fine. The check for the D-drive gives "Free disk space : Invalid drive".
This weekend, I installed Debian Squeeze on my server. I've formatted all the hard disks to EXT4, and I'm using kernel version 2.6.32-686-bigmem.When I tried to install the program saidar, it surprised me why it does not show my hard drives under 'mountpoint' [URL] <-- Saidar screenshot) as I could when I ran with Debian Lenny with the same kernel, but where the hard drives were formatted in EXT3. My laptop which has Ubuntu 10.04 as OS and the hard drive is formatted in EXT4 can easily show the hard drive in saidar.
I also tried to install PHP SysInfo on the Debian computer, but it does not bother to show anything on the hard disks
I tried to check fstab file and I can see that Debian uses UUID to identify the hard drives, but I've tried to change it to something with /dev/sdx, but it did not help either.[URL] (fstab file)
I know that Debian squeeze is very new, but it would be nice if someone could give me a hint what might be wrong, because I am a little tired of all time to use 'du-hs' command To find out how much space is spent on the various drives, since the command is a little slow, since hard disks are well filled.
I am using malloc and frees a lot in my program. It shows its allocated but when i remove it doesnt show as the memory is removed(I am using the top command to view VIRT memory usage). If this continously grows what would happen to my program (Will it go out of memory?)

I tried to uninstall firefox, which is what got me in this mess in the first place, the log claims it will remove ~240 mb but failes on a "E: Write error - write (28 No space left on device)" [URL] If I could juggle something onto an external hard drive so I can uninstall firefox I would be out of the wood. Failing that I believe a new install is in order.

Is it possible to increase the disk space for a Wubi installation?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have never had to do this before But I'm giving my laptop to my mother when my new one arrives and I need to remove the ubuntu installation and get the disk space back.
A few months ago the install stopped working. I can't remember what the error said... and tbh I can't be bothered to reboot twice to read it, but it has to be removed now anyways.
Had a look in windows to see if I can do anything in the disk manager, but it appears I can't. Oh wise ones, please, which path should one take?
which is a surprise as I've found Ubuntu beyond my expectations on all the machines I've run it on.I'm trying to upgrade my old desktop from 9.04 to 9.10 (and then 10.04 - same as my laptop), and am running into this message at the start of the upgrade process:"Not enough free disk spaceThe upgrade is now aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 3109M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 1088M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'."I've done a bit of searching and have followed the leads I've found but am still stuck. I've emptied trash, cleared out old kernels etc but it hasn't got me there.

I am installing 10.10 on my PC. I have changed the hardware and the previous install was for a x64 I now have x32. I ran the live disk and have selected install. I am now on the partition page, (manual). I am happy with the concept of partitioning and which partition is which, but I can only change the linux partition. At the moment I have @60G NTFS, 1G swap and @18G Linux. I want to reduce linux partition to about 12G (which is fine I've done that) I now have free space. I want to increase the swap partition to 2G and the remainder to be added to the NTFS partition. However, I can't add any more disk space to the latter partitions. The Swap partition has the space bar available, but the increase is greyed out and on the NTFS partition, there is no option at all.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currenty run Ubuntu 9.10. When I was installing the OS I've probably just didn't pay an attention to this step when it asked me how much of free space to use for Ubuntu. Now it's using just 11 GB and I want it to use 100% of space of this partition. Installed it with Wubi (btw when installing using Wubi, can I just dump the Windows OS and run Linux itself or when I install it with Wubi the windows and linux are connected in any way?). What method should I use for 9.10?
This is actually my 1st day of using Linux. Before that over 15 year Windows user (since Windows 3.1x). So far I love it much more thn Windows.
well I went to wubi-installer, and installed Ubuntu, and I love it, I don't want to go back to windows 7, but anyways, I set Ubuntu to my D: Drive, (200GB Space) and I installed Steam (Steampowered.com) to get my games on Ubuntu. I installed all of my games, but here is a big problem, I can't figure out how to use more than 30GB on Ubuntu, it just doesn't work. I got GParted, and the D: drive is set to 195 GB (200, but Ubuntu used 5GB)
