I have run into this problem two days ago. The OS warns me that root has limited disk space:

So I would like to add more space to the root filesystem. These are the partitions I have:

Here are the disk partitions

sda9 : /home sda7 : / sda8 : swap

I would like to reduce the size of /dev/sda6 which is 70 GB in size,

  1. How can I reduce the size of /dev/sda6 and convert it into free space?
  2. How can I add more space for /?

gparted can be used for these Tasks, its recommended to boot external from a Live-CD of course. https://gparted.org/

  1. Boot your Machine from a Ubuntu-Live-CD.
  2. Ubuntu-Software-Center: under "installed" click on gPartEd to show Details and uptop Button "Start" to launch. if its not there install gPartEd via: "All" Category click the Magnifying-Glass on top-right and type in gPartEd.
  3. u should see the Layout of your Partitions for the active Disc (Disc can be changed via top-right DropDownList).
  4. The Boundaries can be clicked and dragged to resize the Partitions, finalize by clicking the green Checkmark in upper Toolbar.
