Trying to download an engineering program, Salome-9.4.0, of size 2 GB. The download stopped right about when it was 99 or 100% done as it "ran out of disk space". It was downloading to my Desktop on my Xubuntu 18.04 system. Xubuntu uses the XFCE desktop rather than the older Gnome.

My laptop has 2 drives and is dual boot (Win-10 + Xubuntu 18.04). The smaller SSHD boot drive appears to have used 64 of 128 GB. The 2 GB data drive (also an SDD) should be < 25% full. Maybe this is 2 TB? It's a big modern drive.

df returns the following info:

Does this mean my Ubuntu installation is filled up? Is there a way to adjust partitions so as to get more space? Eventually I may buy a bigger boot flash drive than the 128 GB.

Finally it seems to have worked. I basically followed the article Partition Home Moving

I was able to create an ext4 partition on my 2nd harddrive ~180 Gb of space and use it for my /home directory and presumably programs will use that space. The Xubuntu OS will continue to use the original 15 Gb ext4 partition on the boot drive.

It was not immediately apparent that it worked from my graphical Desktop info. The solution Question & answers are here: Failed to move /home directory to a new partition?
