That was my second mistake ;-) I didn't use LVM... The way I saw it is, since I only have one HD, why should I need LVM? Now, from your post, it seems that LVM has advantages even for single HD, is that right?
By the way, since I didn't use LVM, and wat to increase the size of / (root) taking space from /home, am I just screwed?
Not necessarilly, it depends mostly on your partition layout. What partitions have you defined - please give device (disk) names and mount points.
If you are in a situation where you can either temporarily delete a partition after having backed it up, or shrink an existing one to create a new one, then you should have some options available to you.
Do a "man resize2fs" and read that.
Sorry, I just found a way to get the info. Here is the result of df -h: Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 4.9G 4.2G 427M 91% / /dev/sda1 99M 17M 78M 18% /boot none 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda2 12G 683M 11G 7% /home
What I'd like to do is to take a couple of Gigs from /home and put them into / (root). I believe I can backup and erase /home without problems, but how can I put this space into root?
Thanks
