Another request for partitioning help
I am running OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. I am not very knowledgeable with Linux systems admin, and I don't recall what choice I made during the installation process months ago, but I am running out of disk space and need to find a solution.
Can I just move my mount point for my /home partition? Would I need to format this partition first? What other steps?
If it is more complicated, what would I need to do? I am looking into getting a larger drive, but I suspect I have a lot of space to work with here.
Any more specific recommendations for making best use of this drive?
As I said, I am pretty green with this, so I would appreciate detailed steps and some explanation of what/why for each step.
I have a pretty small /home partition and what looks like a lot of complication elsewhere...
