Disk space problem in /
Hi ,
I have a problem with my diskspace ( i am running fedora 4). i need to know what is the best way to download any software/application & where to saved them to avoid any disk space problem . In the below status of my system i have /96% and i want to decrease this to be in the save side . [root@localhost ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda2 3968124 3594688 168608 96% / /dev/shm 517192 0 517192 0% /dev/shm Any idea , suggestion in how to free more space. Thanks |
4GB isnt alot of space you know. you would want to add another hdd, instead of finding another way. a default installation would itself take more than 2GB.

Thanks for reply ,
My laptop has more than 60 GB and i am using dual O/S . I think is the only solution to add more space to the current setup. Now how to add/increase my / file system space ?? Thanks |
you could use various tools available for partioning and free some space for your fedora. although I dont think you will be able to add it to /, you could mount these and use them as....whatever you want.

I have a simular issue, where I didn't allocate enough space to my linux partition. Is there anyway to have one of my linux directorys, /bin for example, be located on my larger partition?
|
oh well
create a new dir /mnt/newbin rsync -avP /bin /mnt/bin what you want to do here is edit your /etc/fstab file and change the mounts there. please let others confirm before you try this, I havent done this myself yet. |
