Change size of root partition

[Preator]

Hello,

I would like to increase the size of my root partition of my Raspbian OS, because it is full (~8GB). In order to do that, I would like to decrease the size of my storage partition in openelec. I tried with gparted but gparted doesn't want to move the boot partition which is in the middle of the both other partitions. What should I do?

Could I reinstall the whole thing and change the size in the configuration when I install openelec or is there a simpler way?

Using another computer you should be able to shuffle it around with gparted and dd if needed.

Hi,

Have you looked to see why the partition is full.

The find command can search for large files:
sudo find / -mount -type f -size +50M -ls

This will find all files of 50MB and larger. Adjust size parameter as required.
('-mount' stops find from descending into directories on other filesystems)

Also try sudo apt-get autoclean to remove unneeded files.

Thanks for the replies.

I gave up with gparted. So I did sudo apt-get autoclean and it removed enough space so I don't have to change size of my root partition. Thanks !
