Should I reinstall or fix? Setting up my ubuntu 8.10 server based NAS, I only have 150Mb after OS install. My softRAID has 2Tb. I need 700m to upgrade to 9.04. Can i reinstall, using the existing raid? Should I start from scratch?

If you run:

sudo apt-get autoremove

and

sudo apt-get clean

does that give you enough empty space?

What about resizing the partition? Or are they on separate hard drives like my config?

Well, I could resize. I am not sure.. I guess I could take the drive out of the raid, take 2 gigs out of the raid partition, and then add it back into the array. It sounds dicey?
