Hi Sir Recently i installed ubuntu 14. 04 . Last few days on wards it says “File has 0 bytes space remaining” , I want to increase the size of file system, how can i increase file system size in my ubuntu.
dell@dell-Inspiron-3521:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 4.5G 4.5G 0 100% /
none 4.0K 0 4.0K 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
udev 1.9G 4.0K 1.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 383M 1.1M 382M 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 1.9G 26M 1.9G 2% /run/shm
none 100M 72K 100M 1% /run/user
/dev/sda3 4.5G 25M 4.2G 1% /boot
/dev/sda4 83G 2.7G 76G 4% /home
/dev/sda2 367G 841M 348G 1% /media/dell/e62310a3-87c1-4575-bebf-b45b2a260dd9
And can i change my hard disk name, it ( e62310a3-87c1-4575-bebf-b45b2a260dd9 ) was generated automatically when the ubuntu Opearating System installed.
Thank You Sir.

Hi!
This is a little bit off-topic here. This site is a bit more server orientated. It looks like you’ve used up all the room on your / partition. Though you seem to have plenty of room on your /home partition. Unfortunately, you cannot resize a partition while it is mounted. You you’ll need to boot using a LiveCD and use GParted to shrink /dev/sda4 and grow /dev/sda1
