Partitioning in SUSE

skiba · 16 Apr 2006 at 15:24

So apparently i've run out of space in SUSE. I have 2 partitions /hda5 and /hda7. 5 is full but 7 has a few Gb free. How do I go about utilising the space on hda7? Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Is there anyway I can merge the two paritions? Is there any reason the SUSE isntall made two separate ones?

I can c&p that output as my laptop is offline at the moment but will when I get in. I would use the other partition i.e. my windows partition which is 30gb but when I mount it, make a shortcut and drag into it I get "you cannot drop items into a directory for which you do not have permissions".

The owner is root but it won't let me change the permissions to allow me to modify the contents...I have tried as SU from the command line but still no joy, it just says "read only file system". How can I copy onto this partition?

Cheers, will have a read of that, why is writing to an NTFS partition not a good idea though?
