hi,
i am looking to resize /user but i can’t figure out how to unmount it.
also can someone give me the commandline and complete steps to expand the /user to 88 GB?
thanks,
Nathan Saunders
Are you sure you have a fiile system on a mountpoint named /user?
Please post
mount | grep '^/dev'
And I see you are new here (welcome!), thus i want to point you to ahidden, buut much used Feature on the forums:

what i really want is more space because the system is reporting that this is less then a 1 GB of space left so i am guessing it’s /user that needs to be increased
I conclude that you have /dev/sda2 mounted on / and /dev/sda3 mounted on /home. Can not find any mentioning of /user. Are you sure you created that, It is not made by default during installation.
When you say “the system is reporting” you better be more specific. Which componend reports when you do what. When possible post of the message.
I see two most likely possibilities here
- there is a file system that is nearly full, to check that post
df -h
- you use snapper on your btrfs file system and it filled the space with snapshots, removee snapshots and maybe switch off snapper (when you do not know how to do it, wait for a snapper user, I do not use it).
PS. Please post complete, including prompts and command as asked above.

Note all those except home are on root partition. BTRFS sets up mount points for common directories but they are all o a single BTRFS partition.
Probable reason for out of space is snapper. But it looks like you only allocated 11 gigs for root. That is far too small. Recommended for BTRFS is 40 gig and for ext4 is 20-30 gig.
Show us fdisk -l
You would have to increase the root partition (/) But you have to have space to expand into since partitions must be continues sections of the drive.
I completely agree with gogalthorpe.

kinda funny as i have it running under vmware fusion so i had it set the drive size and then had suse c.d. set the defaults for it’s install and expected it to jest work.
Well you should always double check the partition scheme… Installing in a VM may be different then installing to hardware. But when installing any OS never just breeze past all the screens read and understand them before proceeding
