Hi, this is my situation...my root is all used up. I have Ubuntu 10.10. When I originally installed it I did it as a test station and wasn't thinking about needing it in the future...
Here is my result of df command...
As you can see my root which is mounted on /dev/loop0 is at 100%.
I have a lot of space on /dev/sda3. Is there any way I can fix this without reinstalling my system?
I have 2 - 1tb drives.../dev/sda1 is Windows 7.../dev/sdb1 is Ubuntu...with a 20GB root loop...
Somehow it looks as if my LVM2 is not being used. It is HPFS/NTFS partition...
Can I grow / at all or extend it over the sda3?
Thanks,
