Ubuntu :: Back Up The Oses And Increase The Partition Size?

Aug 6, 2011

How does one back up the oses and increase the partition size?

I have a dual boot of Windows 7 and Ubuntu and have made the partitions for each too small. I want to save them and then reinstall them on the new partitions. I've tried clonezilla, but it only restores them to the original partitions. How can I reinstall them on the new partitions?

Ubuntu :: Can't Increase Partition Size

Oct 11, 2010

I have 4 primary partitions on my hard drive. One of these partitions has been divided into 3 logical partitions with some free space left over. The order is this: "swap", "/", "/home", and about 80GB of unallocated space. I want to incorporate that unallocated space into the home partition. I tried this by booting a live CD and starting GParted but it didn't give me the option to increase the size of my home partition or the primary partition as a whole. The only thing it would let me do is decrease the size of my home partition.

I copied 10.4 from a 20gig hd. onto an 80 gig hd with Clonezilla and now I can't get Gparted to expand the partition to include the 50 gig that is unallocated. Obviously I cloned the drive incorrectly.

Ubuntu :: Gparted Won't Increase Partition Size

Aug 2, 2011

I have booted up in a Gparted system disk. I'm trying to use Gparted to resize my current linux partition. It sits on a one HDD with another Windows partition.I have delete the windows partition (626GB) and now want to resize my linux partition to use all this unallocated space. When trying to resize the linux partition (293GB) I am not able to do so. No space is shown to be available to use. I can only make the partition smaller. Can anyone think of why I won't be able to increase my linux partition to use this now unallocated space?

Ubuntu Servers :: Increase Partition Size On 11.04?

Sep 1, 2011

I have a server setup running VirtualBox and several Windows guests. I'm running the box headless and start the windows machines using

Code:

sudo vboxheadless -s "WinXP Pro SP3"&

via SSH session from my MacBookPro in terminal. I then connect to the Virtual Machines running MS Remote Desktop from the MacBookPro. All of this works perfectly except that I've run out of space on my partition for Virtual Machines and need to create a few more. I have plenty of room on the HDD but when first installing Ubuntu Server I only partitioned and formated about 1/4 of the drive. Is it possible to run a command in my SSH session at the command line to partition the unused portion of the HDD, format it, and expand my current partition into that space? Or, do I have to use something like gpartedlive, boot from the CD and do the partitioning?

Fedora Installation :: Possible To Increase Size Of Partition That Is Using LVM?

Jul 2, 2009

Is it possible to increase the size of a partition that is using LVM?I have 5GB of unpartitioned and unallocated space on my disk. I wish to add this to my VG. This free space is physically before the LVM partition.Can I increase the size of the physical partition using pvresize? Or is the only way to to create a new 5GB partition, add it to the VG and allocate it to the LVs? This is not ideal as I wish to minimise the number of partitions I have on the one disk.

OpenSUSE Install :: How To Increase The Root Partition Size

Aug 24, 2010

I would like to increase the size of my root partition on OpenSuse 11.3. Currently, I have 11.3 installed on a dual boot laptop with Windows 7. My partitions look as follows:-

Code:

ash@linux-up5o:~> df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8 5.7G 3.8G 1.7G 70% /
devtmpfs 1.4G 260K 1.4G 1% /dev

[code]....

As can be observed above, I have used almost 70% of the available partition space with only 1.7 GB remaining. I have plans to install Microsoft Office 2007 on Wine and I know that 1.7 GB is not enough for the installation. I don't mind reducing the size of my Windows partitions in order to increase the size of the root.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.0 - Cannot Increase Ext4 Partition Size

Nov 11, 2010

I have done it quite often. Inserted and run the computer from a live CD so that the hard drive is not mounted an changed the partitions. It worked on the old reiserfs when I wiped the windows partition on my laptop to increase the space, it worked on ext3 partitions. Now I resized the swap partition and reduced the NTFS partition on my desktop - no problem. But it does not increase the ext4 partition. No error message it just does not do it. I tried several times with the suggested maximal setting, with a custom setting, etc. It just does not change size. Just for interest I booted into Suse11.0 live CD and tried from there. There I get the answer cannot resize partition as the file system does not allow resizing. Is something wrong with the system or does the partitioner not work with ext4?

Software :: Xsane Reduces Size Of Image Of Scanned Page - How To Get Back To Full Size?

Nov 12, 2010

Ubuntu 10.04, xsane 0.996, Brother MFC 240c scanner.I just finished writing a long dissertation on my problem with this scanning environment (which I will spare you). In a nutshell the resulting image, when printed, is smaller than the original document. In writing my dissertation for this post I determined that the cause of the issue is that xsane believes I am scanning an 8.5 x 14 inch document when I am in fact scanning an 8.5 x 11 letter. So the question is... can I change the size to 8.5 x 11? and if so, how? I have not found anything in the xsane Preferences.

Ubuntu :: Increase The Size Of Desktop?

Apr 8, 2011

Default Ubuntu drivers work fine, but wanted to take advantage of what the new drivers had to offer.

Using Ubuntu 10.10.

Installed latest catalyst drivers vers 11.3 My board has a inbuilt ATI Radeon HD 4250

i installed originally via admin -> additional drivers, but my desktop has shrunk about an inch around the edges (splash screen also changed)

I'm using a Panasonic Plasma Screen (XBMC HTPC) vis HDMI.

Catalyst mentions the Panasonic in Display Manager, but also mentions a Projector (1), which is also the Panasonic TV .

Resolution is set ate 1920 x 1080 and refresh 50 Hz.

I then reinstalled the ATI drivers as per [URL] , but no change (and lost screen coming out of XBMC).

I also installed the splash page fix here [URL] so now at least it looks pretty.

fglrxinfo gives me

Code:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Radeon HD 4250
OpenGL version string: 3.3.10600 Compatibility Profile Context

how I can increase the size of my desktop?

General :: Increase Size Of '/' In Ubuntu?

Feb 12, 2011

Finally i have installed ubuntu 10.10 on my home PC. Its working so so good i cant really imagine :-). At the time of partition due to my immaturity, i selected the size of '/' to be 10 Gb. Now i want to increase it without reinstalling ubuntu. Is there any safe way of doing it ? i did some research and came to know that Gparted might be of some help, but i will really be grateful if any of you can guide me.

the use of livecd for example, can i use liveusb instead ? i was thinking of making liveusb of centos 5.5.

Currently i have 3 partitions

'/' 10 GB
'/boot' 99 MB
'Date' 50 GB

on rest, its my windows xp.

Fedora :: How To Increase Size Of /dev/shm

Which seemed to work, but then the system hung when I tried to use the extra space and I had to reboot. What's the correct way to increase the size of the /dev/shm partition?
