I have 14.04 LTS and when it was installed there were three partitions it looks like from Gparted.

  1. Is /dev/sda1 which is the /root
  2. Is /dev/sda2 which is Extended and does not show anything for mount. (the size is the total drive size which is 1.8Tb)
  3. Is /dev/sda5 which is lvm2/pv and mounted as ubuntu-vg (this also shows as 1.82Tb but also shows 1.82Tib used.

When I look at the graphical display it shows the root as 256 mb over all three partitions. I think I need to expand that but how?

Thanks

  • Are you sure you don't have /boot instead of /root on sda1? – ubfan1 Jun 27 '15 at 16:16
  • Most likely, and then you may well have a bunch of kernels taking up all space. If that is the case: http://askubuntu.com/a/509545/289138 – Hannu Jun 27 '15 at 16:21
  • you'd better also include output for `df -hT` – JoKeR Jun 27 '15 at 16:25

    `/root` is the home directory of the root user. The root directory is simply `/`. – psusi Jun 27 '15 at 16:27
  • It's almost certainly `/boot`, and definitely not `/root`, that's too small. I believe you're seeing [bug #1357093.](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1357093) Please use the link to indicate the bug affects you and add a comment describing your experiences. Try `sudo apt-get autoremove` to clear off some of the older kernels. [More complicated commands](http://askubuntu.com/questions/142926/cant-upgrade-due-to-low-disk-space-on-boot) may be necessary in some cases. – Rod Smith Jun 27 '15 at 16:44
