Hello,
I have been missing disc space in my / partion. Was 20Go.
I deleted a unsed partition and then increase my / partition to 133 Go.Did this in yast and can see that the partition has this size. But when I restart my suse, the size of the partition remains to 20Go.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks in advance
can you post the output of
fdisk -l
from a root console.
also
df

does it help?
Thanks in advance
sda7 is your / partition it’s showing 100% usage,
at this stage I would boot from a liveCD and clean out /tmp
then post the output of df again
I don’t see sda8 in your df output, it calls sda9 /home
fdisk -l tells us sda9 is an NTFS file sys
which partition did you delete?
Hello,
I did clean the TMP. By the way isn’t it something that would clean up my machine automatically?
The / partition is now 74% full but the problem is not solved.
Ok, I have some space available now but the capacity of / is show as 19.7 Go instead of 133 Go show in the yast partitioning application.
Where is the difference?
Thanks in advance
I assume you attempted to delete sda8, isn’t this where /home was meant to be?
I did clean the TMP. By the way isn’t it something that would clean up my machine automatically?
I think you will find it is cleaned up after a time period.
Ok, I have some space available now but the capacity of / is show as 19.7 Go instead of 133 Go show in the yast partitioning application.
Where is the difference?
sda8 is the only partition I can see that would be easily altered to give extra space to /.
I am unsure exactly what you have done in the partitioner delete,resize and which partitions.
fdisk -l shows what you have after your attempts,we can not see the fdisk output from before the attempted changes.
I would suggest ensuring your backups are good (and not on a disk that could be affected by partitioning attempts)
I am not keen on the inconsistencies I see in the CLI output
Perhaps someone else has some advice here?
Download parted magic, burn it to CD, boot from that,
run gparted from it and tell us what that has to say about your disc /dev/sda.
When your backups are OK.
Hello,
I have no back up available.
I ran parted magic, great application. But same result. When I list the partitions, I can see that sda ist 133 Go partition but when I list the mounted partition, only 20 Go are available.
On sda 8, I have the folder “tringaf” which is the name of my session. It is the folder where all the information relative to my original session stands. So now when I boot, I have a original configuration, without any tuning.I wanted to move the configuration folder in sda7 but with only 20 Go, I cant.
What is the difference between fdisk and df? Indeed, there is no sda8 with df but sda9. It looks that when I deleted the emply partition, which was probably originally called sda8, the system renamed the partition, at least.
As I found my personal datas, wouldn’t it make sense to save them somewhere, make a new install, and reload them again?

If I am reading your CLI output correctly, Then definitely, that is one of the best options! and probably the best option!
Something to consider, you could set up your partitions with gparted,(from parted magic)
keep a note of the partition details, then when you get to the partitioning screen in the openSUSE install, ensure the partitions are used as intended.
This has worked well for me.
I have no back up available.
It would be agood thing to fix this.
TIP: label your partitions. The partitioner can do this from ‘fstab options’. Label “/” as “openSUSE”, label /home as “Homedirs” and they will always show up with that name in ‘sysinfo:/’ in konqueror for example.
