Hello,
I recently installed Bio-Linux 5.0 as a dual boot system with XP for some bioinformatics applications, but I’m having some problems with the amount of disk space which can be allocated specifically for the Ubuntu install.
I partitioned a 250 GB portable hard drive into:
/dev/sdb1: 154.76 GiB (with 30 GiB allocated for Ubuntu)
/dev/sdb2 : 78.13 GiB
I’ve been using blastclust to analyse some very large data sets, which keeps on crashing due to filesystem running out of disk space.
When I installed Bio-Linux 5.0 from the live cd, the maximum size I could allocate to the install was 30 GiB, and I haven’t been able to find a way to change this.
I’ve tried using System->Administration->Partition Editor using the live cd, and can view / delete the partitions, but I can’t find a way to specifically alter the disk space allocation for Ubuntu.
How do I increase the filesystem size to larger than the current 30 GiB?
Any help would be appreciated
