[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.
