No hard disk space where I have 150gb unused in /dev/sda5
I am running on fedora 13 (dont ask me why!)and when ever I am switching on my computer it tells me there is only 1gb left on the computer. but when I check /dev/sda5 has about 150gb free space. How do I claim this space?
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 26 204800 83 Linux
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 26 10225 81920000 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 10225 10388 1310720 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda4 10388 30395 160703488 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 10388 30395 160702464 83 Linux
The message is "The volume 'home' has only 1.8gb disk space remaining. You can free some space by removing removing programs or files or by moving files to another disk or partion"
If everything on /home is important use gparted-live & shrink sda2 from the right, move sda3 to the left, grow extended sda4 to the left, then grow sda5 to left filling sda4
