Partition Problem

[rohitgu]

Hi,

I am new to linux , I had created an amazon instance and installed my application and files, now my file size in increasing rapidly and I see only
4.5G of unused space in /dev/sad1 which would get filled very soon.

How can i assign more space to /dev/sad1, i see /dev/sdb, having a lot of free space.

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 11G 4.5G 5.7G 45% /
varrun 4.1G 156k 4.1G 1% /var/run
varlock 4.1G 0 4.1G 0% /var/lock
udev 4.1G 17k 4.1G 1% /dev
devshm 4.1G 0 4.1G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb 444G 208M 422G 1% /mnt

Regards,
Rohit

Is space being filled by Files in your Home folder or is it some Application data?

You can create a new /home partition in /dev/sdb Hard disk.

Post the output of this

sudo fdisk -l

* Its small L in fdisk -l.

This is the result of the command, the space is being filled with application data, mostly MySql

root:~# sudo fdisk -l

Is it a fresh installation? None of your Hard disk has a valid partition table. Did you change partition structure of your Hard disks recently?

What is the size of your first Hard disk? You should consider installing Linux in one of the other disk instead of small one you are using now.
You can create an image of existing installation and install it in other disk using Clonezilla or PartImage.
