[arch-general] adding to capacity to /
Hi folks . i have a problem when i built this system i thought i had allowed enough space for the / partition but it seems now i was wrong . I do not really want to start again and rebuild the system . I have several spare drives lurking is it possible to add space to the partition by adding another drive mounting it as / .. Thanks Pete .
Hi Pete, you could rsync your system to another partition, create a new, greater, encrypted partition and rsync everything back. there's an article on the wiki about backing up root partitions with rsync! worked for me a couple of times. regards -- Georg Pfahler <georgpfahler@wachenzell.org> On March 9, 2019 9:26:01 PM GMT+01:00, pete via arch-general <arch-general@archlinux.org> wrote:
