[SOLVED] root partition too full

[mystic path]

The one higlighted is my root

[shell arrow]

yd you only gabe it 10G

[dull kayak]

.aw gparted

[zinc stirrup]

Arch Wiki: Gparted

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gparted

[dull kayak]

That's why you give root ~ 40gb

I gave it 90 so

And use gparted live to resize

[mystic path]

The guy on the installation video said 10G was enough💀

[mystic path]

Ty

[paper magnet]

With that much storage I would just recommend a combined root and home

[dull kayak]

That's why you don't follow random YT videos

[mystic path]

I already installed everything rn rhough

Just need to increase my root size

[dull kayak]

Just as a heads up

[mystic path]

Ah alr ty

[dull kayak]

Get gparted live and do it

[mystic path]

Ah alright

Ty

[dull kayak]

Anotar heads up. My arch uses 500 gb for itself but root uses 90 and the rest is for home

So you have to calculate how much space to allocate for arch and it's partitions

[mystic path]

I only have 475GB and i'm duel booting linux and windows (Windows for gaming and linux for everything else)

[dull kayak]

You can game on arch fine but kernel level anticheat games

[mystic path]

Ye,13GB for swap is good right?

[dull kayak]

[dull kayak]

How much ram you have?

[mystic path]

16GB

[dull kayak]

Then use a 4gb swap or use a swap file

.aw swap

[dull kayak]

Ik those are there but my dad says i need to keep my windows

And if i have it i might aswell game on it

[dull kayak]

Nobody said anything about wiping windows, just said that you can run games on arch fine.

Only kernel level anticheat games need windows

[mystic path]

Oh like that alright

[mystic path]

Ye everything with eac

[shell arrow]

that's enough for a minimal installation

[mystic path]

I installed everything he did

[dull kayak]

Perhaps, but they need more space as it complaint about

[mystic path]

Even less actually

[shell arrow]

what are the stuff they installed?

[mystic path]

Alot of stuff

Like kde plasma

Text editors

[shell arrow]

ok no
that wont fit

[mystic path]

Ye

[dull kayak]

Anyways, you now know that you can play games on arch but resize your drive.

[mystic path]

I'm trying to find the commands to resize

[dull kayak]

There's no command as gparted live is a GUI tool

[mystic path]

How do i open it

[dull kayak]

Use balena etcher or ventoy to make a bootable USB with it then boot live

[mystic path]

Can't i also use the non graphical interface version?

[dull kayak]

Wdym?

Gparted live makes resizing ez

Or you want the CLI tools?

.aw cfdisk

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cfdisk

[dull kayak]

Is your friend

It's included on arch iso

But I recommend gparted live as it is very intuitive

[mystic path]

I tried that but it gave me the error: failed to parse size

Do you know why?

When requesting support, please include specific, detailed, and relevant information about your system and issue.

We need such information because we don't know what it's like inside your system, and it's unlikely that we know much about the issue you're facing. The more information you can provide, the better we can help you with your specific issue.

Some examples of frequently requested information include the steps you took before your issue occurred (such as system updates), the steps you took to resolve your issue and their results, and your environment (such as your display manager or desktop environment).

Vague or superficial questions lead to vague or superficial answers. False information leads to false solutions.

[dull kayak]

In a nutshell, no logs or info, idk

[mystic path]

Alr wait

[mystic path]

It says the maximum size is 10,7G while i have like 86,7G of free space

[dull kayak]

What tool is that?

And why don't you boot to gparted live?

[mystic path]

Cfdisk

[mystic path]

That sounds hard

[dull kayak]

BRUH it's very ez to do

You only need an USB drive,ventoy and gparted live ISO

[mystic path]

What is ventoy?

[dull kayak]

.aw ventoy

Arch Wiki: Ventoy

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ventoy

[dull kayak]

Make the ventoy usb, copy gparted live ISO to it and reboot to the usb

Then proceed to resize

[mystic path]

Ah alright ty

[dull kayak]
