Adjusting Partition Size
I just installed Dapper on an AMD-64 system with two SATA drives. For some reason, it used the entire second drive (200 GB) to make a boot partiton so I'm getting "low storage space" messages when I try to do things like updates.
When I go under the "Disk" tab under Admin, it says the drive is inaccessible. Clicking on the green Enable doesn't do anything. Any suggestions as to how I can make the partiton smaller and free up space? Thanks. |
Install gparted. It can resize partitions. You have considerable flexibility with partitions.

yes install gparted and see if you can resize the partition then.
otherwise if you have just installed it it may be worth re-installing and when in the partitioning screen manually specify disks/sizes etc.. Unsure why it says the disk is not accessible. Could be that it is not mounted ? if you type $mount from the command line it will show show what is mounted and where it is mounted to, |
I'd go further and suggest the gparted liveCD - avoids any issues with mounted partitions.
Only a 30 Meg download. |
Thanks so much the the assist. I just downloaded it and will install as soon as I can.
