[ubuntu] Home Directory using 1TB of 4TB: How do I re-size? topic

Hello,

I am very much Linux challenged and I have question regarding disk allocation and usage. To start I checked how much space each partition has using df -h. This gave me the following information:

Code:

---

Filesystem      Size    Used Avail  Use%  Mounted on
/dev/md2      1008G  1.3G  956G  1%    /
udev              7.7G    4.0K  7.7G    1%    /dev
tmpfs            1.6G  296K  1.6G    1%    /run
none              5.0M      0    5.0M    0%    /run/lock
none              7.7G      0    7.7G    0%    /run/shm
cgroup          7.7G      0    7.7G    0%    /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/md1      496M  38M  433M    8%    /boot
/dev/md3      4.5T  1.1T  3.2T    24%  /home

---

I then ran du /home to see how much space is allotted to the home directory. The key line is as follows:

Code:

---

1071327568        /home

---

The value shows that only about 1TB is actually being used by the system. My question is, how do I expand the space on this partition to make use of what's available?

Thanks to all that reply,

Mike

[ubuntu] 14.04 wireless not working only on home network topic

Hi,

I have ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed on an Asus u36s in dual boot with windows 7.
I have troubles connecting to my home wifi network. I can connect to the wifi at the office and at my parents house, but it seems not to be working at home. Also if I boot in windows the computer is able to connect to the home wifi network.

The weird thing is that the connection on linux worked the first time and then stopped working. I tryed turning the modem off and on but it doesn't make it work.

Can you please help me?

Thanks,
Simone

[ubuntu] I can't create a /home partition - Weird Error topic

Hello,

I'm a user between Beginner and Advanced and I'm pretty much good with various distros but lately I have upgraded my Hard Drive to 4TB and today when I tried to install Ubuntu it somehow didn't work. I dunno why :mad:. I have created 25GB '/' (root) partition then when I tried to use the rest of my 4TB unallocated space I simply couldn't because I got that error:



Tho I have created a 1TB partition and even tho I got error, I clicked on OK and it created the partition but I want to use the whole unalocated space which is around 4TB ?

Any help on this one please ?

Thank You.
