Change Partition Size

Post by Fabhino22Elz » 2019/06/21 22:08:16

Hi, i have some performance issues and i guess they come from a nearly full partition. That is why i wanne change the size of the partions.

I wanne change the size of the /dev/sda1 partition. i dont have any more free disk space so i want to transfer from other partition. any solutions how to do this on centos 7?

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 3.9G 3.7G 231M 95% /
devtmpfs 32G 0 32G 0% /dev
tmpfs 32G 0 32G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 32G 233M 32G 1% /run
tmpfs 32G 0 32G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/ssd-usr 12G 4.4G 6.8G 40% /usr
/dev/mapper/hdd-data 3.9G 8.0M 3.6G 1% /data
/dev/mapper/ssd-home 4.8G 10M 4.6G 1% /home
/dev/mapper/ssd-var 197G 84G 106G 45% /var
none 32G 88K 32G 1% /tmp
tmpfs 6.3G 0 6.3G 0% /run/user/0

Any ideas how i can change the partion sizes?

Post the output from either fdisk -lu /dev/sda or from parted /dev/sda print but unless you're incredibly lucky this is likely to be very difficult since your root filesystem is a partition and not an LVM LV like the rest of your filesystems.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
