I'm trying to install IBM DS Storage Manager 10 on an Ubuntu 12.04 but it seems I doesn't have enough opt space. Below is the screenshot from the required/available disk space:

Is it even possible to resize the /opt? I always thought that a folder could be as big as the amount of free space you have. I have more than enough space on my hard drive (about 190GB) so that shouldn't be a problem.

    did you have a seperate /opt partition? – Avinash Raj Feb 04 '14 at 15:13
  • No, just did a default install – Noosrep Feb 04 '14 at 15:14
  • As @AvinashRaj asked very correctly, If you have a separate /opt partition (very rare nowadays) you can resize this partition only. If not, you have to resize the entire root partition. See multiple answers here, none is detailed explained, but you will get the basic idea. – NickTux Feb 04 '14 at 15:17
  • Hmm, still find it weird to be honest. I have more than enough free space on the partition where opt is located so why should resizing make any difference? – Noosrep Feb 04 '14 at 15:19
  • @TimothyPersoon :=D Yeah well I live in a comma decimal country so these things catch my eye quickly ;) – Rinzwind Feb 04 '14 at 15:33
