My / partition is full.
Computer is running Debian Lenny.
I installed it a while ago; not sure when it was. I chose the automatic partitioning option that makes these separate partitions: Code:
/ 259M The current sizes of the contents of some of the directories under / are: Code:
/lib 114M I have tried `aptitude clean` and `aptitude autoclean` already, which didn't free any disk space. I want to avoid setting this system up over again from scratch at all costs, because it would require a lot of time. How else can I solve this problem without hosing the system or losing data? |
I think you should boot with live cd that contains gparted or other partitioning tool and resize home partition and increase / partition space.
|
Do you have the option to de-install older kernels? Otherwise I would go for yooy's suggestion.
|
And, tangentially, I agree that those aren't very sane default filesystem sizes. Disk space is cheap. Under the scheme you mentioned, go for 1GB on /, and give yourself breathing room.
