[ubuntu-uk] Disk Usage Analyzer is reporting file system capacity as 4.9 GB. This must be wrong.
Hi, I have a Ubuntu server (8.04 Hardy Heron) that surprisingly appears to be running very short of space. Disk Usage Analyzer is reporting file system capacity as 4.9 GB. But I am sure this is wrong. My question is, how can I confirm this? The output df is as follows: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 5147012 4334312551244 89% / varrun 127744 116127628 1% /var/run varlock 127744 0127744 0% /var/lock udev12774452127692 1% /dev devshm 12774412127732 1% /dev/shm The output of sudo parted /dev/sda3 print unit s print unit chs print is: Disk /dev/sda3: 5355MB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: loop Number Start End SizeFile system Flags 1 0.00kB 5355MB 5355MB ext3 Disk /dev/sda3: 10458314s Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: loop Number Start EndSize File system Flags 1 0s 10458314s 10458315s ext3 Disk /dev/sda3: 650,254,62 Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B BIOS cylinder,head,sector geometry: 651,255,63.

How can I verify that more space is in fact available? If it is available, how would I avail myself of it? Many thanks for any advice!

Well, I have been able to verify that in fact this server has Windows XP installed as well as Ubuntu. So what I want to do is actually get rid of Windows XP and devote the entire hard disk to the Ubuntu server. What would be the easiest way of doing that? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Birchall Sent: 26 November 2008 16:54 To: ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: [ubuntu-uk] Disk Usage Analyzer is reporting file system capacity as 4.9 GB.

So what I want to do is actually get rid of Windows XP and devote the entire hard disk to the Ubuntu server. What would be the easiest way of doing that? I would start by booting from a desktop install CD and then gparted (System-Administration-Partition Editor) and use it to delete the Windows partition and then move and resize the Ubuntu partition. It's possible that gparted may not let you do all the operations you need to on the existing partitions, in which case I would resort to a re-install!

Working very well after a bit of fiddling about with the wireless. I haven't had any issues with the lid sensor. Sounds like a problem with the hardware, so probably worth sending back for repairs. All the best, Tim Thanks Tim, yip I think i will be organising to send it back today some time, although i will be lost without my Eee :-( Just an update. I RMA'd my Eee and it was sent back to me this week and the engineer had reported Unable to simulate your error - returned unrepaired. Needless to say I was a little livered! But I had owned it for less than 28 days and so took it back to PC world this evening, demonstrated my problem, and was offered a refund or replacement. They didn't have any stock, so i took the refund. I'm not put off however, and after a little bit of searching, located stock in dabs.com It's on order and will hopefully be with me next week to be Ubuntufied from first boot!
