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?
Re: Change size of root partition
Using another computer you should be able to shuffle it around with gparted and dd if needed.

Re: Change size of root partition
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.

Re: Change size of root partition
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 !
