Friends, I don't have enough free space in root
directory. but in home directory I have 40gb free. So I can
not install anything in root directory (which occupies more
space) Please suggest me If there is any possibility to
increase the root directory size by minimising the home
directory's.

Answer Posted / saurabh makkar

If your root partition is on LVM then you can increase the size of your root directory by

#lvextend - L +size in MB/GB -n /dev/vg/lv

Otherwise U can't do any thing with root partition
