More Information
Problem Details
V10 LinuxAP will have default HDD Size of 8GB. In most scenarios, this is sufficient. Sometimes you need more space and have to extend HDD storage.
root@vmware-debian:~# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 6.8G 6.8G 0M 100% /
udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev
tmpfs 101M 156K 101M 1% /run
/dev/sda3 6.8G 6.8G 0M 100% /
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 305M 0 305M 0% /run/shm
If you use a virtual machine (HyperV / VMWare) you can increase the storage space. (If you use a LinuxAP on a CF-Card or FlashDisk you have to perform a fresh installation on a larger storage medium)
In this howto we show the HyperV steps. VMWware is similar.
Preparation
- Download GParted Live CD
- Remove all existing Snapshots
- Create a fresh Fullbackup of your Machine. Important: Please remember that you will change partitions and file system. An error can mean a total loss of data!
Configuration
- Shutdown LinuxAP
- Extend VM HHD Size to your needs in VM settings
- Mount GParted iso in VM settings
- Open Console, Start VM and load GParted
- Extend Partition and Filesystem
- Shutdown and unmount GParted iso in VM settings
- Start VM and check available diskspace
root@vmware-debian:~# df -h
