We deduce that you are trying to expand the root filesystem and are not having much success.
Assuming that you are only working on one computer there is a common theme to your recent threads but very little information about the Operating System(s), the disc systems, the file systems, or your project plan.

how to expand root partition size?
I/O error?
Are you booting from a DVD while you copy the root filesystem?
