  • How to extend my root (/) partition?

    2 answers



I am using Ubuntu 16.04. I have posted a screenshot of my partitions below. My root partition /dev/sda1 is almost full, and my /home partition /dev/sda3 has plenty of unused space. Is there a way that I can use some space from /dev/sda3 to increase the size of my root partition /dev/sda1 ?

    that is a lot of space used for root. perhaps you should look at clean up. Try sudo apt-get clean and sudo apt-get autoremove and removing old unused kernels.

    @ravery: Not really if you installed many packages or have a bunch of stuff in /var, e. g. web pages or data bases.

  • @DavidFoerster -- if that is the case, it would be mounting a partition to /var would be an easier fix.
