Run Out Of Space On /dev/sda2
My Linux (Mint 13) laptop reported that 'The volume "Fiilesystem root" has only 0 bytes disk space remaining'. When I ran a 'df' I got the following result:-
HP-255-G1-Notebook-PC # df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 28836860 27372200 0 100% /
udev 1810632 4 1810628 1% /dev
tmpfs 727768 980 726788 1% /run
none 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock
none 1819416 76 1819340 1% /run/shm
/dev/sda3 692800400 68383328 589741516 11% /home
overflow 1024 16 1008 2% /tmp
I suspect that the system was originally configured with insufficient space on /dev/sda2. Is it possible to reconfigure this without doing a complete reinstall?
Thank you.

You might have some huge files that are taking up space on your root partition that don't need to be there. This question has some suggestions for finding them. Also, it might be worthwhile running bleachbit.

Yes it is possible to change partitioning under any of GNU/Linux OS with gparted without reintstalling the OS. You will need to download from gpated
web site Live CD/USB image, make a bootable media with it and load machine from there. If you have enough free space before or after the partition you can easily resize it in particular enlarge. Save any precious data before.
Hope it helps.

There are several ways you could proceed, but first we need to look at your partitioning of the disk, what does "cfdisk /dev/sda" report?
