Why the fuck is your root only 10 gb?
Oliver Edwards
shit now you are making me scared. How do I check my root size, i just got into linux mint from Windows 7
Oliver Mitchell
execute lsblk on the terminal
Luis Gutierrez
oh shit I only have 6 gigs left. I guess my next action is to increase its size 3 fold
Xavier Edwards
There's a GUI app for drives. But you can df -h in the terminal
Landon Long
Caleb Thompson
shit I shouldn't have made it 20G, fuck now I have to do everything all over again. 40gigs should be fine
Oliver Thompson
lol
just install ubuntu and uses guided partition mode
Wyatt Sanders
yeah, don't fuck with manual partitioning. let the installer do all the work. you don't need a separate partition for home folder.
Cooper Bailey
>you don't need a separate partition for home
WHAT? FUCK ME DUDE SHIT
I don't think the Mint installer has a guided partition mode thing, so this weekend i'll back up and reinstall everything. Can't believe I allocated 170Gs for /home

Aiden Reed
what is wrong with Mint? the only other linux distro I've ever used before was Ubuntu so I thought it was fine
Kayden Miller
seems like you allocated 453gb actually
anyway watch this video youtube.com

Can I just unpartition home/transfer its free space to root?
How?
Ian Wright
Move it to a new drive using dd if=/dev/sdX of=dev/sdY bs=1M (where sdX and sdY are from lsblk, X being your old and Y your new drive), then resize the partition in gparted
Christian Taylor
I have
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 465.8G 0 disk
─sda1 8:1 0 10G 0 part /
─sda2 8:2 0 2G 0 part [SWAP]
─sda3 8:3 0 453.8G 0 part /home
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
I can only move root to home, but won't this break everything? (Since home's mount point is not / )
Jaxson Peterson
Oh you mean like a pendrive?
Mason Gray
Live USB with gparted
Zachary Jones
Why you fags not online resize that shit? All modern filesystem can do this, even ntfs.
Gavin Jackson
gotta start somewhere. mint is least likely to alienate newfriends.
Jaxon Barnes
That's not always true. Granted that maybe a common user doesn't need it, but a separate partition for /home may be useful.
Jordan Ward
>Not using lvm
Jayden Mitchell
you don't need it, but if your install shits itself, having home on a separate partition is really nice.
Also, why the fuck all this idiots install Linux without reading at least once what the fuck is going on during install? It's not that hard and one of the first things you come up to are if you are going to use separate partitions for root, home, recommended sizes and if not what other filesystems you can use.
Jacob Fisher
go for more if you have a huge disk. I think I have 100G on a 1TB drive on my desktop and more than 50G on my laptop with a 500G drive.
Just do a fucking search, don't be a homo and read a bit about what the fuck is going on on your drive.
