i want to increase my root partition size
Hello buddies,
Good noon I m using redhat linux 4.4 my root partition has become full i want to be increase it is there any tools or command to increase partition without any damage please help what i have to do next . thanks |
You might need to boot the system from LiveCD/DVD
command: 'man resize2fs' |
resize2fs is for resizing filesystems, not partitions. But Fracker is right, start from a live CD that contains the GParted program and resize from there.
In any case, do a backup before doing anything with your partitions. |
Something else you may do is a bit of cleaning of that partition.
Here is what i run for this to diagnose what is taking up space: du -xak /|sort -n|tail -100 the last lines are the biggest folders or files. You may well find that there is a redhat iso sitting in a directory you forgot about, etc ... Also, you can move some data to another partition, and replace with a soft link. Then if that's not enough, parted on a live CD is going to be your friend |
