allocate more space to /home
Hi all
Is there a way to allocate more space to a partition? For example my /home is almost full , at 96% so can I move memory from lets say / to /home?
df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 6190692 2571688 3304532 44% /
/dev/sda2 101105 16715 79169 18% /boot
none 1037368 0 1037368 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda8 56878816 51388472 2601056 96% /home
/dev/sda7 1035660 39608 943444 5% /tmp
/dev/sda5 4127076 2818712 1098720 72% /var
I dont need much just enough to keep me under or at 90%
Thanks!

REPARTITION(8) System Manager's Manual REPARTITION(8)
NAME
repartition - load a partition table
SYNOPSIS
repartition device [partition-file]
DESCRIPTION
Repartition uploads a new partition table for the partitions of device. The table is obtained from the first sector of partition-file if
given, device otherwise. Device may refer to the whole drive or a primary partition, depending on whether you want to upload a partition
or a subpartition table. The partitions will be truncated to fit within the enclosing device like the disk driver does, unless the numbers
are coming from partition-file.
EXAMPLES
repartition /dev/hd0
repartition /dev/hd4 /etc/hd4.table
Reload the partition table of drive 0 setting /dev/hd[1-4], and the subpartition table of /dev/hd4 setting /dev/hd4[a-d] using a file. The
latter may be useful if you need more than the 4 subpartitions a single Minix partition gives you.
DIAGNOSTICS
The new table is printed on standard output.
FILES
/dev/hd[0-9]
SEE ALSO
hd(4), part(8).
BUGS
The disk must be in use for the changes to stick. The partition table of an idle disk will be reloaded on the first open.
