Adding space to a directory?
I need to add space to certain directory. I believe I need to add space to the filesystem this directory belongs to. How can I find out what filesystem this directory belongs to?

You can only space to a filesystem. What version of 'NIX are you running?

To list the file systems, and the amount filled use:
Code:
df -v

Then determine which file system your directory is in.
eg
If your directory is:
/mydirectory, file is in the root file system
/u/mydirectory, file system is /u, assuming that there is a /u in the df -v listing.
/home/john/mydirectory is in the /home file system; if there is no /home in the df -v listing, then the directory is in the root file system.

That way:
Code:
 df -h directory
