Well I did it......

I have been ignoring all the posts about enlarging /
'cause it couldn't happen to me.
Now hda is only the / directory. Can I boot in g4l,
ghost the drive and go home?
TIA

Lee, whichever way you want, get that hard drive restarted and clean out
your /tmp folder and any others that you can. Then you can use diskdrake
to move things like /var, /tmp and /usr to other partitions. As soon as
you try to name new partitions using those names, diskdrake will offer
to transfer the data from the old one to the new one.
Should have shown the whole pic.

/dev/hdb1 49G 213M 49G 1% /var
Appears I can ghost dev/hda1, replace it with the new
drive and go to lunch?
home, user, and var are already happily elsewhere. (and
the box is functional at this point.)
You haven't - perhaps - dumped 'stuff' into 'things' under /mnt when
those 'things' were *not* mounted - have you?
I did that once. I have 2 HD's, and the "extra" space on each was set
to /mnt/spare_a/ and /mnt/spare_b/ -- but, not mounted automatically.
On one occasion I DL'd a couple of ISO's into my 'large' spare_b
partition. But, since this bone-head had not mounted it at the time, it
was all nicely saved for me in the / partition. It took me a while to
notice that I had stepped on my own dick.
Just for ref:

Your / seems HUGE, there.

I am sure that I did a similar stupid using musicback
before mounting musicback, but I can't see it with the
partition mounted?
Dumb question: How do I umount the partition?

"umount hda1" would unmount hda1 (without the quotemarks of course)
note only 1 "n" in umount
