    As you can see in the picture above. System-monitor and Gparted are Screenshoted at the same time.

    How can that bee? How can I fix it?

    It is on Ubuntu 10.04LTS

    Edit. Before my change the /-partition was filled with around 18GB (as system-monitor show), so there should have being only the half /-partion, filled with files as it was extended to 37GB.

    Seems very strange.

    Just to add a third choice what does this show?
    df -h

    And to see sector details:
    sudo fdisk -lu /dev/sda
    sudo parted /dev/sda unit s print

    Have you backed up your personal files to another drive? Do it if you haven't and it is possible!

    Then I suggest that you exit gparted and reboot the computer. What will you see after reboot?

    I've had issues with programs not knowing that the partition size has changed too. I don't remember which ones were the problem, but I do remember that a reboot gets it sorted out.

    I haveeeeeeeeealso allready made a couple of reboots.

    Cheers. To morrow I make backups. Seems that Unison dont copy hidden files... I have ssh on the backup machine, so it shoud be able to copy all files and maybe conserve the meta data on the files?


    cheers

    Did you try making the changes from the running system or from a Live session?

    Re: Change partition with gparted. System shows old partition-size

    It's not possible to umount filesystem used by system /root and /home. I use a 12.04LTS 64-bit live session from SD-card. Could that be a problem to use 12.04 and 64bit on a 10.04LTS 32-bit?

    Need to make a bigger / cos it full, but I will soon upgrade to 12.04LTS because 10.04LTS soon get to old. I have a graphical problem with the 12.04 live session (sceen showed duoble in the edges.

    I do not think so. If anything using gparted from a 12.04 version has a lot of improvements over the 10.04 version.

    Re: Change partition with gparted. System shows old partition-size

    Not only is your / full, your /home is full too. With both partitions over 90% used your performance will decrease and there's nothing you can do about that by just repartitioning your drive. You either need a major cleanup – which for most people doesn't work for exactly the same reason as for why they filled up their hard drive in the first place – or a bigger drive.
