CLOSED: Directory size

[dmohr10]

New to Amahi and linux. I followed the install guides and all running good. Problem is my directory sizes. I have a 1 TB drive. The /home is 865 gb and the / is 49 gb. Needless to say this is probably backwards. How do I move space from /home to / to be used for the shares? Searched the forums and can't find an answer, at least one I understood. Thanks for any help, trying to learn.

Which install guide did you follow?

You can use a disk utility such as GParted.

Might need to start over and when you select the custom disk partitioning, make the change there before installing the OS and Amahi.

I used the Amahi 8 and Fedora 21 but after deleting partitions on disk I let Fedora configure the new partitions. My mistake. How big is the /home usually.

It varies. Fedora will allocate quite a bit to he home partition.

I would recommend no more than 20GB as most don't use their home directory for much. Most files are kept in the shares.

Thank you, will probably start over...keep things clean.

That's probably best.

I will close this one out. If you have any further issues, please start a new thread.
