If you were to send over the output of 'df' and of 'sudo fdisk -l' it would be a little easier to see your partitioning scheme and advise, but from what you did provide, it looks as if you have quite a lot of extra space in /boot. /boot generally holds files to be used at the very beginning of the computer's boot process; the grub menu, the linux kernels, possibly some graphics...

Exactly how you managed to fill almost 9G of data in /boot is actually beyond me, but I would have expected it to be much closer to a few tenths of a gigabyte .. but I'm not on ubuntu right now, so perhaps other list viewers can back me up on this. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
Running out of disk space!
All,
It seems like I am running out of disk space on my home partition. I installed through Wubi in Windows, and thought that 10GB would be enough. I've attached a link to a screenshot hoping it would aid the situation: http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/646/screenshotsystemmonitorxz0.png I tried expanding the /host/ubuntu/disks/boot device using gparted, but that did nothing to improve /host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk. Where should I be doing that? Aren't they the same device? -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

However you also have a ton of space on sda,sdb,sdc,sdd (especially!) and sdf. You have a few options. 1) take that space out of the boot partition and put it back into / (root). 2) shrink one of your emptier windows partitions and use them to store part of / (like /usr, which takes up lots of space, or /home). 3) remove something. I don't recommend this unless you have a lot of cruft you mean to remove. I recommend the first option, because you're more likely to feel comfortable doing that. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
