I have 14.04 LTS and when it was installed there were three partitions it looks like from Gparted.

  1. Is /dev/sda1 which is the /root
  2. Is /dev/sda2 which is Extended and does not show anything for mount. (the size is the total drive size which is 1.8Tb)
  3. Is /dev/sda5 which is lvm2/pv and mounted as ubuntu-vg (this also shows as 1.82Tb but also shows 1.82Tib used.

When I look at the graphical display it shows the root as 256 mb over all three partitions. I think I need to expand that but how?

Thanks

  • Are you sure you don't have /boot instead of /root on sda1? – ubfan1 Jun 27 '15 at 16:16
  • Most likely, and then you may well have a bunch of kernels taking up all space. If that is the case: http://askubuntu.com/a/509545/289138 – Hannu Jun 27 '15 at 16:21
  • you'd better also include output for df -hT – JoKeR Jun 27 '15 at 16:25

    /root is the home directory of the root user. The root directory is simply /. – psusi Jun 27 '15 at 16:27
  • It's almost certainly /boot, and definitely not /root, that's too small. I believe you're seeing bug #1357093. Please use the link to indicate the bug affects you and add a comment describing your experiences. Try sudo apt-get autoremove to clear off some of the older kernels. More complicated commands may be necessary in some cases. – Rod Smith Jun 27 '15 at 16:44
