I had created an amazon instance and installed my application and files, now my file size in increasing rapidly and I see only 4.5G of unused space in /dev/sad1 which would get filled very soon. How can i assign more space to /dev/sad1, i see /dev/sdb, having a lot of free space.

I have a problem that Google didn't give me a workable solution so I'm posting my question here, hoping that someone has an idea.On a virtual server (VMWare) running Debian 5 I have a disk of 15Gb.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible? I've been playing around with GParted but unsuccessfully. The other option is to 'move' the whole server to a new (to create) virtual server that uses LVM. Any ideas?
I originally had an Ubuntu partition on my hard drive which occupied about half of it. I installed Windows 7 in the remaining unallocated space and I was planning on doing a grub update from a live cd afterwards. BUT when I looked at my partition table, the space where the ubuntu partition used to be is now unallocated space!

Today I was installing a lot of software since I'm just setting up my Slackware system again after a fresh install, and I realized that my root partition has very little space left.
Here is the output of df -h:
Code:
As you can see, I have a 20G (19G here for some reason) root partition, 8G /var, and 86G of /home. I thought this would be plenty since many recent recommendations for / are 10-15G. Now, though, 17G are used up for some reason! How is this possible? I thought a full slackware install only had about 4G of software! I don't have any music or movies or any crazy huge files that I know of, and those would be in my /home directory anyway. Is there any way I can see which files are taking up all this space?
If it's necessary to allocate more space to my / partition, is it still possible to boot up a GParted live Cd, shrink /home a bit, move some partitions to the right, and expand my root partition? I would REALLY prefer I don't have to reinstall since I just spent a ton of time setting up my system again, but if worst comes to worst ... :'-(
In case you're curious, here's my /etc/fstab:

How can I assign a directory to a specific partition (another hard drive)?How would someone move / home/ username/music to another drive or partition? But do so in a way that it no longer writes MP3's (or FLAC) files in the original directory of the root drive?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a hdd of about 225gb when i installed ubuntu it gave a nice split down the middle on the partition and a 3gb swap. I tried to manually assign a data partition but was unsuccessful; kept getting a root error and couldn't fix it so i let it do it automatically.
Now win7 has a 60gb partition and the rest is on ubuntu side.
How can i give win7 more room? qparted for linux side or partition magic on win side?
Which will be easier for me?
My goal was to give win7 around 80gb and ubuntu about the same or less and make a third partion and name it "Data". Data will be storage for both os's or whatever.
can assign permissions on a partition with ntfs as the file system. I am aware of editing fstab and setting some basic permissions. What I am clumsily dictating is can you edit permissions of individual folders for specific users in Linux. I have already tried chmod and such
etc something similar to this
Code:
[user@computername user]$ sudo chmod 600 directory
I am using Asus eee PC model 1001P and I am running ubuntu netbook remix on it. I have a 160 GB hard drive. When I was installing ubuntu I assigned only 50 GB for it, thinking that I will use the remaining partition for windows. But right now after using UNR, I don't want to use windows at all. Is it possible that I can assign the remaining 100 GB unassigned partition back to Ubuntu without reinstalling the whole operating system again?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have around 30gb of free space in my partition table immediately before the Linux partition. I want to resize my linux partition to take up this space.
I tried booting with live cd, sucessfully umounted the hard drive but found I could not resize the partition. On clicking the 'edit size' button, partition manager recognised the free space before the partition but when i reduced this, the 'ok' button was greyed out. (it was not greyed out for the windows partition so I could, in theory, increase the windows partition to take up the free space but this is not what i wanted to do).
I am pretty sure that I had managed to unmount the drive correctly as the padlock symbol had dissapeared (I took the attached screenshot, which does show the lock symbol, after rebooting into my normal system).
Anyone got any ideas as to why it wont allow this? There is no reason why i can resize the partition to take up the free space BEFORE it is there?
using onboard windows disk management i have made 75gb unallocated to add to the aforementioned ntfs data partition. but, after resizing extended partition, will i need to fix grub even though i will be adding the unallocated space to a storage partition and not the ubuntu boot partition?
View 4 Replies View RelatedCurrently, my partitions are set up as such:
83GB ext3 free space
~10GB ntfs HP/Vista Recovery Partition
~93GB Ubuntu (Hardy Heron)
I tried to just have two partitions (recovery and ubuntu), but because of the different file systems, and the placement of the hp recovery partition, it has to be right in the middle. This is basically what I want to do:
1) Reinstall Hardy Heron on a new (smaller) partition from the free space partition.
2) Once it's working properly, format the rest of the hard drive (getting rid of the recovery partition) and create a single ext3 partition.
3) Install another distro on this new partition.
Does anyone foresee any complications with all this slicing and dicing of my hard drive for which I should/could prepare?
i am following the installation process and its very unclear whether or not a dual boot will occur and how i can make a partition of the free space available from my windows partition etc....i dont want to go through the process and find myself losing all my data and my windows partition i also cant seem to select a partition less than 86% of the total capacity of hdd so im def sure they're not taking my dual boot desires into consideration.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently run a dual boot with Windows Vista and Ubuntu Lucid. I have been using Ubuntu for quite a while now, but kept around Windows "just in case." I have decided that keeping Windows is unnecessary and my Ubuntu partition is running out of space. I was wondering how I could format the Windows partition and add that space to the Ubuntu partition without having to format my entire computer.

View 8 Replies View RelatedThis morning, my hard drive looked something like this - Windows Vista on a partition of around 100 GB (NTFS), Ubuntu 10.04 (ext3)on a partition of around 80 GB, 4 GB swap and a partition of around 40 GB (NTFS) containing videos and music and stuff like that. I wanted to resize the Ubuntu partition to around 30 - 40 GB and add the remaining space to the 40 GB partition.
I successfully reduced the Ubuntu partition using the Partition Manager app that comes with Ubuntu, but I was unable to add that to the NTFS partition. After a merge failed, I was no longer able to access the 40 GB partition. I tried restoring that with testdisk, and now I can't access anything! GRUB fails to load, and when running from the live CD of 9.04 (only version I had on CD) my Ubuntu partition and 40 GB data partition no longer shows up. I have over a 100 GB of free space instead.
I'll be extremely grateful For the record, I had an external drive plugged in while running testdisk.
When I first decided I wanted to start using Ubuntu, I was using Windows Vista. I created a separate partition by shrinking a portion of my current windows partitions to 60g of free space. I then booting my computer with the Ubuntu live CD and installed it under that 60g of free space. (I dual boot now and have been happy ever since). I guess my question is if I boot back into windows and format the 60g partition, can I shrink more of my windows partition and allocate more of it to the 60g part? I'm only asking this since I would like more space when the newer Ubuntu version comes out. I wasn't sure if by doing this GRUB will get deleted as well and mess up my computer.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have 2 partitions:
- Partition 1 = xp and ubuntu
- Partition 2 = private matters (movies, pictures, etc.)
I successfully obtained 5 gb of unallocated space from xp I would like to add to my partition 2.
but inside gparted I can't partition 2 to increase, even though I have not mounted XP partition or 2 - I can only make 2 partition smaller and not bigger.
Is it because my swap partition is in the way or? I can not figure it out

I'm setting up a friend's old Thinkpad with Linux Mint 9 (or maybe 10). I would like to set it up with separate partitions for /root and /home, which would make it easier to save his data and settings should we need to reinstall later on. I picked Mint because he's not exactly computer literate, so I'm trying to make this as painless as possible for him, and since I'm going to be the guy doing the work, should the need arise, I want to make things easier on me.
Problem is that the machine only has a 40g hard drive. I know he's not going to be installing many programs, mainly a browser, some music apps, a DVD player, and OpenOffice. I'm trying to figure out how much space to allocate to /root so I dont' have to resize it in a few months.
I am not able to add unallocated space created by shrink volume in windows into existing Linux partition....ScreenshotsScreenshot.pngScreenshot-1.png

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to free up some space on the 4GB partition of my netbook since I've been receiving these warnings that I have NNN_MB left as free space. So what I did was to remove programs (via Ubuntu Software Center) that I thought wasn't that a priority for me.
But, there seems to be no change! Am I doing something wrong? The warnings keep coming.
Now that I'm thinking of upgrading to Lucid Lynx, I'm not too sure if I can.
OK so basically I have 3 partions on my 500 gb. hdd.
1. Windows 7 64-bit (375gb partion)
2. Ubuntu 9 (50gb partion)
3. Ubuntu 10(75gb partion)
Is there anyway I can remove Ubuntu 9 and allow Windows 7 to use that 50gb that was once used by Ubuntu 9.
I'm dual booting Win7 with Ubuntu 10... I just 'shrunk' some disk space in my NTFS partition (about 60gb); and want to assign it to my current Linux partition. In the 'disk utility', I see 60gb 'free' and unformatted. How can I take this 60gb and add it to my current Linux partition (/dev/sda5)?
