[ilugd] How to increase /root partition size in Ubun tu 8.04

2009-05-19 Thread Leena

Hi all,

Is there any way I can increase /root partition's size after 
installation, using gparted?
or anyway to change directory for default installation files from /root 
to /home

I have Ubuntu 8.04 in a system having Hard disk of size 40GB.
I used manual partition option and following is how I have parted the disk
/root: 3GB or 3000mb
swap: 1.6GB
/home: remaining (say @36GB)

Now after installation I ran updates. now when I try to install new 
program, system giving me following error: There is no space in /root 
and you need to delete some files to save new


any help on this please


Thanks,
Leena

gparted will do this fine. Next time, consider implementing LVM to
resize partitions on-the-fly.

Do you recommend putting / on a LVM device?

Should not be a problem. AFAIK, You need a separate /boot on a non-LVM 
partition though.

and that is the catch.  /boot in most installations is not on a separate 
partition.

Better still get the latest parted magic cd and do it from that.
Of course you cannot do it from within Ubuntu.
uuids may change, so you may need to edit /etc/fstab (put in device names)

getting the current apt-mirror of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty, 23GB) and ISOs
of Ubuntu 9.04 i386 DVD. If anyone wants anything else (fedora, debian
et al. are also available) please drop me a mail by tonight (May 20

I had that for a couple of years and it was more trouble than it was 
worth.  Primary issue is with the default initrd generated when a new 
kernel is installed -- had to do all sorts of obscure initrd 
configurations to make sure it booted up fine on an LVM.

IMO it's probably better to move out whatever you can from / 
(/var, /usr, /tmp, etc.) into separate partitions so that any of those 
that need more space can be individually resized, and keep / static.  
You could do that right now too without touching the / partition: 
assuming you need more space in /var, just make a /var partition on one 
of your disks (or a new one), boot into single-user, copy the 
existing /var over, delete its contents and mount the new partition 
onto /var.  Don't forget to update /etc/fstab!

I have been able to get OpenERP working on Fedora 9 and Fedora 10.
Haven't tried it on CentOS though. What are the problems you've faced.
I haven't used any other ERP software as yet so can't say anything on
the options or comparisons.

openbravo http://www.openbravo.com/ is also a good option. Although
haven't used it personally yet, but have heard some good things about it.
Wouldn't hurt much to check it at least.

It's not so easy to describe. This would need analysis of your
business and it's requirements. There are a few companies in India
who're deploying OpenERP and a few partner companies of OpenERP are
there too. You might want to get in touch with them. See
