Partition sizes
Hi,
I think I need to change my hard drive partitioning on a testing
install, and want to make sure I'm not missing something that
would mean I didn't have to. Here's the situation...
david@blue:~$ uname -a
Linux blue 2.4.25-1-386 #2 Wed Apr 14 19:38:08 EST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
david@blue:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 133M 92M 34M 74% /
tmpfs 253M 0 253M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda5 4.6G 2.3G 2.2G 52% /usr
/dev/hda6 2.8G 2.0G 672M 75% /var
/dev/hda7 15M 1.1M 13M 8% /tmp
/dev/hda8 105G 2.5G 97G 3% /home
I'm practically out of space on my root partition, which was allocated
133Mb by Debian Installer. (Although I'm not certain it wasn't picking
up some older partitioning.) The space is used (approx) by:
blue:/# du -hs /lib /etc /boot /sbin /bin
43M /lib
28M /etc
12M /boot
2.9M /sbin
2.8M /bin
When attempting to install a second kernel, / runs out of space and the
install fails.
Does this look within a sensible range for a desktop with Gnome?
i.e. my / partition is just too small, and I'll have to change it.
Cheers,
Dave.
