I was wondering how to increase the size of a root partition without LVM.
We have a root partition of 21GB in total and another partition with 2TB in total. Ideally, we'd like to keep everything on /
and just increase the size, potentially utilizing the disk currently having the /home
mount point.
This is on a dedicated server running Ubuntu 18.04 (server) and so GParted isn't an option, unfortunately.
Is it as simple as changing the /etc/fstab
to have the mount point of /
on /dev/md4
?
df -H
;
