I kept getting a disk space left warning saying I only had about 1 GB remaining. When I called up gParted, it showed I had 1GB left on the root partition, which was originally 30 gig. The home partition was hardly used, so I increased the size of the root by 30 gig (from 30 to @60GB) and reduced the home partition accordingly. Now it looks like this:
- I suspect this will get rid of the "disk space warning" message but am I doing this right? Why isn't the "home" partition being used by the operating system? Shouldn't there be a striped line around all 3 hard ware boxes (root, home, swap) making it act like one hard drive? The idea of having a partition with the OS on it was so when the next version comes out, I can just overwrite the root partition saving all my data on the home partition.
- how do I get rid of the 1MB unallocated space in between the root and home? I'm requesting "0" bytes between partitions but it gives me a MB of space I apparently can't use.
- if this is the way this OS works, the home partition could be really small, is that right?
