Can somebody help me move 1.7T of disk space from /home to /. The disk is on a dedicated server accessed remotely.

df command output:

tmpfs             1632328       0    1632328   0% /run/user/0

lsblk output:

fdisk -l output:

  • Welcome to [ubuntu.se]! What have you tried so far? Do you want to move data or change the size of partitions? In the latter case, please [edit] your question to add the output of the lsblk command. You could also replace the output of df with df -h which is more readable. – Melebius Oct 10 '18 at 08:05

    Make use of your installation media (DVD, USB). Boot the installer, choose Try Ubuntu, then run Gparted and edit the partitions to fit your needs. – mook765 Oct 10 '18 at 08:35
  • @mook765 Hello mook765, This is a dedicated server from OVH reseller I don't have physical access. – Walid Kaouah Oct 10 '18 at 08:45

    why is / full? if it is due to a mysql database why not move that database to /home/ and edit the config to point to the new location? Should be easier :) Same for apache. You could move it to home and symlink from /var/www/. – Rinzwind Oct 10 '18 at 09:35
