I'm running CentOS 5.4 and my / is full. I wanted to install gparted but in order to do that I must install Priorities and it's when I get an error saying / is full so I can't go forward.
Here's some output:
fdisk -l

I'm not using LVM.
Please advise.
Thanks
Answer
Can you use a bootable disc like RIP (rescue is possible) Linux and use gParted on that?
Make sure you have a decent backup of your data first. Never play with partition information on production systems with important data without known good backups unless you're ready to possibly lose data (although RIP linux discs also have testdisk to try retrieving data from damaged partitions if something does go wrong...)
